The percentage doesn't matter.  If ISO image is compressed, user who
downloads the image may de-compress that image to burn (I don't know
any about the burner softwares which support compressed ISO image).
What's happen if there is no space to make de-compressed image on a HDD?

Also, the image size is still over 200MB; it is too large to fetch via
28.8k link IMHO (saving 3.4hours doesn't help either).  There are lots
of broadband connection services we can temporary buy (at airport,
starbucks, etc), so why not use it for large file downloads :-)
