[ GoldSrc ] Allow to download compressed files (.ztmp) from webhost (sv_downloadurl)

[Sylwester]

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

[alfred-valve]

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]

Yes, GoldSource supports gzip compression now.

[GuskiS]

Actually, it is not what I suggested.

[powerlord]

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

[alfred-valve]

gzip downloads, not bzip2.
