          Description

          Szkopuł filetracker's database weights a lot (hundreds of GB). After compressing it with xz (LZMA2), the size is reduced 2-4 times AFAIR.

          Objective is to store files in filetracker compressed with xz.
          Extra objective: compare what occupies more space - compressed file or not compressed version of same file. Some directories gain weight from hundreds of MB to some GB - what is against logic since xz header is 10-100B I guess while the disk block size should be 4 kB (maybe there were a lot of empty files?).

            This was implemented in filetracker 2.x, though gzip compression was used because of its native support by HTTP clients. See SIO-2089 for some preliminary stats.
