If you are trying to get them to download faster by finding a place zipped
versions, compressing the Nalimov tables is like trying to compress a bucket of
sand.  It doesn't work.

Compression schemes work by finding order in data and removing it.  Perfectly
compressed data has no order in it, so it can't be compressed.  The Nalimov
files are very well compressed.
