You can try ftp://ftp.lexa.ru/pub/apache-rus/contrib/mod_deflate-1.0.11.tar.gz It compresses content on the fly without any temporary files as mod_gzip does. It has workarounds with buggy browsers. mod_gzip has not. Drawbacks: It patches Apache and can not be loaded as DSO. It compresses static files every time. mod_gzip can use cached compressed file. It has Russian documentation only but you can ask me if you have any problems. Igor Sysoev
