I believe they ARE compressed WHILE you are downloading them. Once they
have been downloaded, they are uncompress to the hard disk for fast
access later when they need to be read. No sense waiting for 10,000
textures to uncompress when you are trying to load the game since disk
space is SO cheap now adays.
