Yes.

Also released (I've downloaded it via bittorrent).

First time I hear this concept. I don't exactly the "why" it's not 
commpressed, but I image it's because it would take a lot of CPU and 
memory to compress a 650Mb file, and anyway, rpms (which is about 98% of 
the image) are already compressed.
