BZ2 (bzip2) is a single-file compression format, which is slightly slower but slightly more efficient than ZIP's standard Wikipedia icon Deflate compression.

It is optionally used by Source Source 1 FastDL servers to reduce network bandwidth usage, by sending the compressed file, which is then decompressed by the client.
