It's my opinion that wording needs to be changed on the front page.
That's been the source of so much confusion on this list, not to mention the
people who never even post about it.
I suppose if someone wasn't paying attention, they could inadvertently use the
"14kb" version on a server that doesn't support gzip compression and think it's
14kb when it's really 46k (or whatever the actual size is).
Changing the wording seems easy enough though:
Download jQuery
---------------
For Production Use - Compressed for deployment, smaller is better.
Download jQuery 1.2.1 (14kb, Minified and Gzipped)
Requires configuring your web server or middleware to serve
Gzip.
Download jQuery 1.2.1 (26kb, Packed)
For those that can't Gzip their JavaScript.
For Development Use - Uncompressed for testing, learning and development.
Download jQuery 1.2.1 (77kb, Uncompressed)
- Bil
