 Description   

I downloaded the new 64 bit 2.2 or whatever release and it was 62MB.
I just tried 7zip'ing it on max compression (not ultra), and it is now 22MB.

You'll save yourselves and your supporters a lot of bandwidth and time.
Its time to embrace the future.
Just like mongoDB giving superior performance over relational etc, 7zip is way better than zip etc.

Lets move forward guys!

PS:
Thanks for MongoDB.
Keen to try it out.

Thanks for the comment, I'm passing this on to the release team!

I hope you enjoy MongoDB, and if you notice anything with the documentation or product don't hesitate to open a new ticket in the future.
