Link Compression

Recommended Posts

How about adding an option to the clients to perform compression before the data is sent over the link between the client and the server. I use Retrospect Server to back up a server over the Internet, and this would be a good option to cut down on our transfer costs, since each byte that leaves the server is metered. Much of the data that is backed up is mailing list archives, so it's plain text and is easily compressed. Server side CPU usage isn't a problem.
