The download page says 192MB next to the .zip file link, the actual archive size if downloaded is more than 350MB. ZoomIt is huge inside. What happened? Is it still legit? Why is it so inflated all of a sudden? Maybe it's a Debug mode build, unstripped, or something? The size is too drastic a difference!
