Hi Zack,
Thanks for the suggestion. Next time I think I'll definitely try using
bzip2 to compress the file. As you say gzip isn't very good.
Unfortunately, I'm about 75% through uploading the Linux MOTA beta 14
file, and I'd hate to stop it, rezip the thing, and upload again after
it has been going for nearly an hour or so. So next time I'll
definitely experiment more with compression sizes and archive formats
before defaulting to gzip.
