I thought of the
tar cf - files | gzip -[1-9] >output.tar.gz,
but if it requires much coding, it is not necessary.

Thanks, this works.

But the network connectivity is sometimes limited. And for example
older krusader source tarball tar.gz=5.4MB, tar.rz/7z=2MB

rzip does not support pipes, so 7zip is better in *nix world.
I tested it, and the ratio of 7zip(using lzma method) was better, but it is 
much slower (about three times for the same compression ratio).

but it is (as yet) unexchangeable with Windows users.

My personal opinion is, that bz2 will be replaced in favor of 7z or lzma.
7z or rzip can make better result in better time (tested).

ok, it was just an idea.
