Download stats tell that in 8 days the bz2 has been retrieved nearly 15000 times while the 7z was retrieved about 500 times. Should we continue to bother with 7z, given that disk space on the dev server is not unlimited?

Given that the 7z files are smaller, maybe we should stick to them?

Anyway, I'm intrigued by 15000 downloads of the planet files in one
week. I don't want to be rude, but I don't think osm is that popular!
Are there clients repeatedly scraping the server?
