But that may take a while. In the mean time a pragmatic, low impact way
to improve speed and completeness of site retrieval could greatly
improve Freenet's usability. Waiting is annoying; waiting for something
that doesn't show up in the end even more.

Transparent unzipping at the client side doesn't sound too bad to me.
It's no rocket science, doesn't seem to have much architectural
consequences and offers a fairly smooth fall back mechanism for those
with older clients (i.e. anyone can unzip). But then again I haven't
spent much time under the hood of Freenet, so I may be wrong.

Cheers,

Menno
