So if you read yesterday's chapter of "How can Jason improve the download success of our users", and looked at the comments, you saw that I was all over trying to zip up the ISO and seeing if that saved space. Unfortunately, it looks like doing that would only shave about 1.7% from the total size of the download.
| file | size in bytes | gain from compression |
| Feb CTP ISO | 1,141,606,400 | - |
| Feb CTP zip | 1,122,130,957 | 1.70% |
| Feb CTP exe | 1,122,200,699 | 1.70% |
So I'm now moving to investigating download managers. I'll let you know what I find.
