It might be their way of keeping people from playing the files directly
from their site - this way they force you to download it.

Just the plain .mov file is as small as it gets, so zipping it wouldn't
help (though I see sites that do it, probably for the same reason I
guessed above).
Ideally this would be available from the Self home page. As an
alternative, I could put it at http://www.smalltalk.org.br which has a
very good connection to the Internet. But I would say that permission
to distribute on CDs and permission to make available for download
aren't quite the same thing, so I will wait for feedback from Sun
before doing that.
