[galaxy-user] downloading processed data

Dear Galaxy, I use the web version of Galaxy to process my reads for quality control and then I would like to download the processed reads to run alignments locally or on our cluster. If I click "Save" in the History side panel, the download begins but then fails near completion, possibly because the download times out? Is there a way to compress the reads within Galaxy and then download the compressed file, or is there a more efficient way to retrieve my data off the Galaxy server? Thanks, Carlos
