       Today I learned that zip unpacking requires random access. So it can't be used with streaming in node.js without buffering the whole file. My use case involves downloading data file using the master.zip from a GitHub repo URL. Can I get a different archive format? One that is compatible with streaming and pipe in node?

       @tomosaigon I can get a zip from GitHub by adding archive/master.zip on the end of the repo URL. Is there similar for gzip?

       @daz probably only if you convert it yourself or you gzip it yourself
