The documentation index page links to the following HTML archive of the
Django documentation for offline use:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/m/docs/django-docs-1.7-en.zip
This file is currently '''23.2 MB''' in size, due to the contents being
stored without any compression at all (using the Store method, rather than
Deflate). Compressing the contents as a zip file with default compression
reduces the size to '''5.7 MB'''.
I am guessing that there was some oversight in the build process that
resulted in generating an archive without compression, and that this
should be easy to fix once identified?
For background: I discovered this earlier today after struggling to
download the large archive over a poor mobile connection, during a power
outage. A compressed archive would have saved me enough time, effort, and
data to be worth reporting this here, and i assume that other users in
network-constrained environment are similarly affected by this.

Comment:
For the record, adding an LZMA-compressed version of the archive (.7z or
.tar.xz) would reduce the size of the download further to 3 MB, or almost
half the size of the zip file.
