yes gzip streaming but not in the sense that, you can download and open a gzip application.

and if hes talking about runtime compression for dcc, then as qwerty said, compress/decompress already exist.

The type of compression (i.e. gzip or not) makes absolutely no difference if its "recognised elsewhere" since its totally internal, i.e. compress on send, decompress on recieve, the user knows no different.
