While I do see your point, I can think of a couple of reasons to support this.
The first is that I know people who are unfamiliar enough with computers that
they honestly do not know how to zip up a group of documents. While these
people are probably a minority on IRC, they do exist.
The second reason is that I do not think we should allow warez traders to sway
judgement on the matter. Personally, I don't think multi-file sends will
have a huge impact on the warez traders anyway, since it would be just as
easy for them to have a script that would automatically queue downloads
anyway, if they don't already do this.
There is also a security angle to consider, if the protocol supports
multi-file sends, then there is no reason for someone to send a possibly
virus infected zip file.
The final reason I support it is that we never know what the future could
bring, maybe if we impliment it, someone down the road will come up with a
really neat way to use it.
