I would welcome the win32 distributions packed with bzip2 as well. This algorithm is superior to anything else I know (well, at least in compression ratio), and is available to win32 users as well. Not only as a commandline tool, but as a plugin for the very popular wincmd32 too. Anything bzipped is about half the size of that thing zipped.
do not forget that manual downloads, bzip2'ing could help there too
