Custom server content can be compressed using bzip2 which is supported by source games, allowing clients downloads will be faster. It is a must-have if you're hosting large files, as it will save you bandwidth, and speed up downloads for clients. However, using bzip2 on many small files can slow down client loading times.

HLDM does not support bzip2 compression.

#### Garry's Mod Download enforcer

In order for a client to download files from a FastDL in Garry's Mod, the developer of an addon must put files from the addon into lua code `resource.Addfile ( "/path/to/file.ext" )`. However, some addon developers do not do this. In order for clients to download the required files, an lua file needs to be generated for it to work, which is what the lua enforcer feature does. The only downside is that clients may download files that are not required on the server.
