As much as I sympathize with the plight of people who have to pay
for slow b/w, we're talking about something that is a luxury, not a
necessity. Sure, having a gzip'ed version of the iso image avaiable is
probably a good idea, but if you want your stuff gzip'ed just do an ftp
install. Those bits are already gzip'ed for you.
