Hi Henrik,

I think most of the core-dumping / non-compiling bugs I've introduced lately
 should be fixed now.

 But you're somewhat right - there are some changes happening. We are
 adding a bunch of servers where bandwidth might be limited, so today
 I've added compression of the messages going between clients and
 hobbitd. Seems client data can compress around a 4:1 ratio.

Could you tell us how you implemented this ? What type of compression
do you use ? (so I can see how to implement it for Windows clients :)
)
Compression would also garble the data so that it's not being sent plaintext. Not as good as real encryption, but better than nothing :)
