One of the new features available in the Vault 2013 products was file compression during transfer.
Compression is controlled by a server side configuration file setting and is enabled by default for server to server file replication which permits faster, more efficient data transfer. This feature can however, also be leveraged for file transfer between server to client, that is, compress the files as you get them from (check out) or send them to (check in) Vault.
Now, before you run off and start compressing your downloads, you should be aware that this is really only designed for users with a poor server connection, WAN or perhaps remote access. Having your file compressed, transferred and then uncompressed does not really speed anything up if you are sitting right next to the server with a gigabit connection.
If you do however fall into the category of having a poor server connection and you want to learn more, head off to our WikiHelp article here and test for yourself.
