Following a suggestion made by River, I am currently recompressing all files using the newly-installed "xz" program. Based on an arbitrary sample (all files from 1 January 2011), we can expect a size reduction of about 25% -- or about 250 Gb freed in total. The compression time, however, is quite long, and I haven't measured how the decompression time compares with gzip. Let me know if the xz format causes any problem; I have started recompressing the older files, which are not used so often, but if this is ok with all users, I may start in the future recompressing the new files as soon as they are downloaded. Hopefully, with the new storage space, we'll be able to store these files in a more convenient way (not only raw files as they are now, but also the same information in a better format).
