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... Goba
