Duuuh, how about:

"get the sources for lzma utilities and/or the lzma binaries, including 
Windows, that we've compiled for TeX Live. From a command prompt, run 
lzmadec <texlive2008.iso.lzma >texlive2008.iso to decompress it."

That's where this crap comes from.  Also the download page for lzma
is terrible.

The sizes are 1.19GB vs 2.44GB for lzma vs raw, but I'll have to
download the raw and zip it in order to compare sensibly.


If you want to help distribute the raw iso, download it by bittorrent
on a well-connected computer, and seed it.
