Somewhere to download an uncompressed ISO would be very useful for using VPS’s like Vultr which let you use arbitrary ISOs, and will fetch the ISO for you given a URL.

Last I tried, it refused to handle anything other than a plain ISO, and downloading and reuploading would take forever. I used my previous VPS to wget/extract/mirror it, but that’s a lot of friction.

But xz is fine for me.

The only inconvenience is extra processor power used in the compression time, but that’s your end.
