Compression level zero about downgit HOT 4 OPEN

Thanks @MinhasKamal for the fast answer, in my case I download the file not to decompress it, but to upload it into another application, same if somebody wants to download it to send it via email for example, then is required to decompress it, and recompress it with a better compression level.

Hello @CarlosRuiz-globalqss - I feel really happy that you found DownGit useful.

The thing is, when a link of directory is provided, DownGit traverses through that directory and downloads each file separately in uncompressed form from GitHub server. After all the files are downloaded, DownGit simply bundles them together.

Now, as all files are already downloaded, compressing them now will not reduce network usage in any way. Moreover, this compression procedure will simply add extra processing expense; and the user will have to decompress it again. That is why, I just bundled them without imposing any compression.

Yes, I understand your case, shall try to add this in future updates.
