Adding this feature would reduce download times and used webhost bandwidth and space by about half.

You should be able to add gzip as your default web host encoding and get the same gains.

Well, gzip file format download and uncompression is supported by Source engine. Does the same support for Goldsource (hl.exe) now ?

alfred-valve commented 11 years ago

Yes, GoldSource supports gzip compression now.

GuskiS commented 11 years ago

Actually, it is not what I suggested.

powerlord commented 11 years ago

alfred: gzip or bzip2? Because Source only supports bzip2.

alfred-valve commented 11 years ago

gzip downloads, not bzip2.
