@laanwj Good question! :-) Perhaps it is a legacy thing, but for some reason I have it hard wired that gzip -dc is used when operating on stdin/stdout and gunzip is for unpacking file.gz, removing the original file and leaving file. They might be totally equivalent nowadays. If so, ignore my minor nit :-)

IIRC on some systems, gunzip symlink was not available in the default install.

I tried on FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Linux (Ubuntu) and gunzip worked out of the box at least... Also these are not general instructions for end-users, but for ourselves. I personally find gunzip much easier to remember. But meh I'm fine with changing it.

Update the steps for updating the hardcoded seed nodes to point to the
new filename on @sipa's server, and add command to decompress it.
