compressed transfers on by default

I think "Enable safe and compressed transfers" switch should be on by default, because some users dont know what this is and some doesnt know it exists.
All transfers speed up really much if both users have this setting turned on, and i cant think of any reason why it shouldn't be on.

Thats strange... Maybe my setting was off because i installed the new version over the old, and the old settings file was saved.
I wonder why people turn it off.
Why dont remove the option and allways have it turned on?

Because $GetZBlock is still in testing phase - that's why it's actually enabled (and advertised) as $GetTestZBlock.

It's important that users be able to disable it if they see a bug (which admittedly is probably not the reason most people disable it).

In some hub I participate they decided to ask everyone to untick it because it gave connection problems.

(I asked about this in DCDev hub, being told it was known, and I, therefore, moved on)

another reason they disable it is it can make fake files transfer faster... thou i guess there was the whole 99% infinite loop thing too, which is fixed last I heard.
