Follow-up Comment #1:

Use Gzip module to unpack content (in Http_client.wget and wget_string),
actually better do it while downloading but this requires API redesign - will
save it for the future. Import IO module from extlib.

There exist some broken torrent sites which serve gzipped content (torrent
files) even when client doesn't request it.
Thanks psyvenrix for pointing this out on irc.
