Guess I answered my own question earlier, I ran gzip on
openopfice.org-core
and it went from 84MB to 83MB.
rpms are already compressed.
Fairly loaded question, don't say get a better ISP, I have a very
fast
connection at home, and this d/l view was taken at work with an extremely
fat pipe. The problem is size of rpm's being downloaded.
Debian seems to d/l much faster, not exact version but you can get some idea
size wise.

There package is 34MB.
This is an example of one of the larger apps out there I realize that, I
just grabbed the last one to use as an example. At 34MB it still takes
time, but .deb is 50MB cheaper that the .rpm.
you are comparing two different packages (2.0.4 and 2.4)
