7zip might be a better format for the reports #1

I've downloaded the 518MB zip, unzipped and compressed using 7zip. It turned into a 370MB file. Compressing as 7zip could reduce @stevefaulkner's hosting bill by 30% :)

is that with the 7zip format or is that using deflate? The only sucky thing about 7zip is that it's not supported out of the box.

I used the 7z format. I agree on the "extra install" suckiness. Maybe offer 2 download files, so that people can choose their preferred format?

Closing as won't fix.
