It really depends on how extensive the mod is.
For example, if you simply want to make a mod that gives a list of ship names, then simply zip up the text file with a readme (recommended) in a standard zip format. In this case, the end user simply needs to unzip the file to the proper location.
IF you have a full theme with race modifications and graphics (which are yours and not someone else's, or if you have the creators permission to redistribute) then you can zip up the whole theme for download. And it remains simple for the end user.
If you are using another modder's graphics and do not have permission to redistribute, then you will need to point to the download location in the announcement thread, and be sure to give instructions on how to get those graphics into the mod folder.
