Just a FYI

I compressed all of the .dat files of my test league using powerarchiver, winrar and Windows XP's built in .ZIP function.

Here are the sizes

Before compression 63,235kb <---
.gz 12,686k
.zip 12,512k
.rar 10,010k

This does not include any of the non .dat files but for league files it appears that .rar is the best compression unless there is a way to compress even more that I am not aware of.

BTW before everybody freaks out this is the Major Leagues with every bell and whistle turned on.
