bzip2 to conserve bandwidth?

[Snittarn]

I've got a server with a number of rather large sounds/maps/models which new players have to download. Now I have seen other servers which supply their models, sounds and so on as bz2-files. How do I do that? Will simply compressing each file to a bz2-file work or do I have to do anything else?

Thanks!

That doesn't explain my question. I already am utilizing the sv_downloadurl-option, however. Instead of supplying the files uncompressed I'd like them to be sent as bz2 files.

from what I understand, the answer is yes. However, everyfile must be bzipped or it wont work.
