On the other hand HIgh voltage sid collection (hvsc) distributes a zipped zip;

Each file is 1k-20k, of which there are 40,000 or so. But they are catalogued in 3-4 deep directories, so if you just zip them, the metadata takes 30% or so of the zip.

But the metadata does compress very well, so they zip it again.
