Would it help if it did know that? For http I have made "mget" which (although 
not used at the moment) allows to tell the slave to fetch multiple files and 
which leaves it to the slave to fetch them in an order most convenient for 
the slave.

I could imagine that that could be a real help here, because that would 
potentially allow the slave to fetch the files in the order in which they are 
in the archive and extract them with a single decompression pass without 
storing the decompressed archive.

Cheers,
Waldo
