These files used to show up compressed with gzip. It does not seem to be the case for some time. With sizes like
37M 0dc08d372184e56c71a32b6abbd6fbdd8eedfd3d-primary.sqlite 65M b860206f9cc245151e10625c725c8c2eb0145c31-filelists.sqlite
this makes a substantial difference on slower connections and not everybody has T1. A disk space starts to add up too. Was this change deliberate? Even a default gzip compression shaves between 70 and 80 percent of these.

What repo are you seeing these in? those files are bzipped in the repo and decompressed and left decompressed in your local cache dir.

Hm. I did not pay attention and now this information is gone. Will look closer next time. Of course no guarantees that I will get the same mirror.

Do they have to be decompressed? With one rawhide repo this is not that much. Once you have few of these, plus "testing", plus some "debuginfo" for at least some of repos, it will be much harder not to notice that on your disk.

It's a fairly considerable performance hit to decompress these each time and you do not want them just decompressed into memory. That's a big memory hit.

A) Which repo
B) are you sure you're just not seeing the bunziped local versions that remain bunzipped? The download itself is bzip2d.
