They are transitioning to their .com domain, whose only bonus, other than the wait time and ads, is serving files directly rather than zipped. They could offer this feature on the original .org site with no downsides (the traffic won't increase because 99% of devices will support gzip on the application layer anyway) but I wonder why they don't.
