Should I start compiling large stock sets (photo series with 15-25+ photos in them) into compressed (.zip) folders?

YES. For the love of stock, you should've done this ages ago!
No - I don't think it's necessary & I like to see large previews.
No - I can't/won't download software to unzip the file packs.
Makes no difference to me.
Only for certain stock sets (comment below to clarify)
Other (comment below to clarify)
Yes-- but only when there's [x] number of photos, instead of just 25 or fewer. (Comment below)

I try and keep my zip files under 90 MB to make the files easier to download. Most of my zip files are around 20 to 35 MB. Lately, I've been putting stocks in stacks in Sta.sh, taking screenshots and posting those as preview panes with a link to that folder in Sta.sh. It saves a lot of time
