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,
