Really?  Most distribution ISOs use squashfs or similar with 
XZ/LZMA compression.  It doesn't make sense to compress that over 
the wire.

That said: XZ compression currently saves 27% (559M -> 405M). 
Transparently serving pre-compressed ISOs with nginx (gzip level 
9) would save about 25% (559M -> 415M), which is surprisingly 
similar.

Kind regards,

T G-R
