Talk:Wikipedia

I thought that Wikipedia started using 7z/lzma instead of bz2? The files were much smaller. That could help in spreading the backups. -Pronoiac 02:44, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

The current revision of en-wiki saves 15% at its default compression level. I'd thought the difference was much more pronounced. I retract this suggestion - the canonical bz2 files are fine. -Pronoiac 05:25, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
