compressed downloads?

I'm e-mailing with the guy who has made the dutch EPG available online. Right now, he's offering separate files for each day, which you have to put together to one XML on your own PC, using a script. This is working okay, but it's a bit of a hassle to set up for the first time.

I noticed the 'Remote' tab in Mediaportal RC 1.0, and I think it would be much easier for dutch users if they could just enter the URL there. I wrote the owner of the files, and he's willing to make them available as one single download. He's just a little worried about the bandwidth used though. His question is:

"Can Mediaportal handle compressed files? Or does it sent the right headers, so Apache can give the files back compressed?"

I'm not really that technical, but do you guys know the answer here? It would sure help out a lot of Dutchies!
