Yes. The main purpose was to handle video files which could not be made into KMA files. The decision was made to use it to for all formats that are already compressed as Hoster was not recompressing those anyway. The secondary consideration was that several users wanted to be able to use their zip files with other programs as well as Hoster. This also allows this.

The KMH file is only a 256 byte header file and Hoster does nothing to those zip files.

You can still keep your zip files on a separate hard drive. You can import those files from any drive internal or external..If you are wanting to have a separate copy then make a copy of them on the other drive as your back-up (original) copy.
