Seeing your up alias reminded me of a bash function I setup a while ago also called up. I use it to simulate doing cd .. n number of times. e.g. up 5 would go up 5 directory levels.
up ()
{

[[ -z "$1" ]] && levels=1 || levels="$1";
for ((i=0; i<levels; i++))
do
cd ../;
done
}

Not sure if I’m just too used to the classic design, but the new one looks pretty cramped to me. Also, while I can’t read French, it seemed like I got an ad at the top of the page, which hopefully isn’t the direction Wikipedia is going.
Anything zipped will presumably eventually want to be unzipped. Personally, I’d create a directory, and unzip it in there, since sometimes it’s just a bunch of files instead of being in a directory.
Probably just bash aliases:
