   WOAH!   That much?

   Did anyone try 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org/)?  I read it compresses files 
better than Bzip2:

        As previously announced, we dropped the rar archives
        and offer 7-zip-archives instead now. We have not
        dropped the .tar.bz2 for the freedb-complete archives,
        yet, but we plan to drop them next month, since they're
        so much bigger compared with .tar.7z. If you really
        need the .tar.bz2 archives instead of .tar.7z, please
        let us know why.
