Hi Surlaw,
CP currently accepts up to 32MB in a post request. This size limit could be increased, but I don't see a need at this point.
I took the download from Slime Salad and attempted to upload it without any problem. I've adjusted the application file type restriction to allow octetstream (although that's the generic "I'm a file" filetype).
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Edit: I'm an idiot and had the .RPG file in there twice, the .zip only needed to be 10 MB. |
Still shouldn't affect your game's uploadability.

CP's upload script explicitly looks at the mime type of the file uploaded in an attempt to limit the upload to only .zip files. For whatever reason, Surlaw's upload was treated as an application/octetstream, which simply means that a binary file was uploaded. I do not know the intricacies of Apache's mime type determination during a post request, but it seems to be browser and OS dependent. I was able to upload the file downloaded from Slime Salad without changing the upload script. To get around this in the future, I have included application/octetstream in the acceptable mime types list.

Does it still check the extension or can you upload anything now?

Technically, you could upload anything now, assuming Apache sees it as an application/octetstream. Again, I do not know what Apache does to determine the mime type for an uploaded file. However, the upload script will always save the file as a .zip and will always serve that .zip file back up using an application/zip mime type, so the user would need to know what the proper extension was if you didn't upload a .zip file.
I have no intention of keeping the .zip limitation in the future, but a heavy workload has severely limited my time devoted to CP development. Arbitrary file type support (as well as multiple files per project listing) has already been built into the new version of CP, whenever that gets released  .
