Bandwith and time of those with dialup can be saved by compressing Boost release by BZIP2 compressor (http://sources.redhat.com/bzip2/).

For example boost_1_29_0.tar.gz has size 5 272 kB, tared and compressed by bzip2 size is 4 282 kB (down to 81%).

Boost size will grow (Spirit lib has over 600kB) and bzip2 can reduce the growth a bit. Bzip2 is available on many platforms, free to use, stable and quite used.
