Definitely agree with the disk image approach. Of course, for maximum compatibility, also encode in MacBinary II. Again, if configured correctly, the browser should automatically do the decoding process. The user would then end up with a disk image. I've also seen cases where the disk image is also mounted automatically.

There is no need to MacBinary a disk image; it has only a data fork. Just make sure it has a ".dmg" extension, and their web browser should open it upon downloading.

I've found DiskCopy's compression to be very good. Though I haven't tested it, I suspect it uses zlib compression, as it seems to compress things down quite nicely.
