Is there really any reason to multiply the downloads by 4 just to have different compression methods? It seems to me like that just needlessly dilutes the seed swarm and wastes space, since pretty much any modern archive reader can unpack all the provided formats. Sure, specialized command-line utils can't, but if you're using one of those then you probably know which one to use for a given format.

You know, you're not the first person to bring that up - and I am having seed problems.

Perhaps next rev I'll only include the .7z (smallest) and greppable formats.
