hi luigi what compiler do you use to compile your windows tools like q3infoboom.exe and so on?

I use mingw.
you can find more info about how I compile my stuff here:

can you give me a direct download link for mingw please?

you can choose between the official mingw:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files_beta/ (the "looking for latest version" link)

or tdm-gcc (which is usually the most updated and probably easier to install):

ive tryed that mingw one but when im compiling the result is larger than yours but i didnt edit the source code what can i do?

if you add the -s -O2 options to gcc it will create a smaller and faster executable

it lost half of its size but still larger than yours .. anything else?

here I use mingw, so maybe the bigger size is caused by tdm-gcc.
if there you have mingw with gcc 4.5.0 then you have the same of mine

i dont know my version but i think its 4.5.0 theres a file called "mingw32-gcc-4.5.0.exe" in bin folder but still my file has 14.336 Bytes yours has 10.752 Bytes my commandline is:
gcc -o file.exe -s -O2 q3infoboom.c -lws2_32
anything wrong there?
