Hello

I was wondering whether it would be possible to provide a bzip2 version of
the most popular versions in addition of the gzip version. In 7.1 the
sizes are 6.6mb vs 7.9mb (the source distribution) so this would also
lessen the network load on ftp sites. I'm not suggesting getting rid of
gzip, just providing an alternative, for those of us who have a slow
connection.
