Offhand suggestion: can we pack/compress the language files in a way that keeps them smaller on the server but leaves them usable?

But a other option is to add a second download option where people can download mediawiki with only EN and make tarballs for all languages available so people can add the languages they want. Maybe something that can be done on a mirror site.
I don't think this is a good idea. People will opt for the smaller download if given a choice, and then their users won't be able to switch their interface language.
