So far, issues of LG have been compressed using tar and gzip. Is there
any intention to use tar with bzip2 for future issues? Since most of
the files in each issue are text files, bzip2 is more efficient (in
terms of the size of the compressed file) than gzip. Here is a
comparison of bzip2 and gzip using the current issue; i.e. November
2007 (#144):

1028042 lg-144.tar.bz2
1045337 lg-144.tar.gz

IMHO, providing a bzip2 compressed format of LG issues would save some
download time.
