Well, the bz2 version for the latest PHP is approx. 1MB smaller then the gz version. I guess developers who download PHP source have bz2 on their machines. Or is there any linux/unix without bz2 support? Or do we assume that guys on Windows are unable to unbzip2 the download [also noting that the docs are only provided in bz2 now!]. > As for what to do with the older stuff ...

It was Mark AFAIK, and I don't think he has bandwidth problems. There is probably not too much traffic there. The site is also linked from the downloads page. Goba
