Files are still downloaded to a directory even when zipped #16

I would expect the zipping behavior to archive the files as a zip instead of downloading to a directory, but the files are still downloaded to the directory with the addition of the zip.

Downloading then zipping seemed like the best approach... I'm not aware of any other way to do it. That feature was just something we made for fun, I had just added it in the initial TODOs.

If there isn't a way to write directly to the zip creator or whatever, maybe write the files to a temp directory and then zip them?
