Doesn't seem difficult to do but I'm curious about the motivation. The largest file is already only 2.7MB in size, not very large. Are you trying to bypass an antivirus/network policy that forbids downloading executables? Does this not scan inside of zip files anyway?

multiple files in releases

It is intentional that the variants aren't all bundled together today since I didn't want someone to have to download everything if they only want one variant.
