What URLs are there? Why aren't they file ones?

A zip file has "central directory" i.e. master index at the end of the
file. IIRC when you are using random-access methods of Zip file, that
index is loaded into memory once.  Scanning the file sequentially does
not use the index and I think it will be slower.
