Unexperienced users had trouble with zip before they learned
how to handle it. Jut let people learn more things ;) Bz2 files
are way smaller than any other compression we used in the past.
Bandwith can be a big issue for many sites and mirrors. Let
people get what they want quickly by using small files, and
not bothering the server host the same thing three times
redundantly...
