Yes you can download and unzip compressed *.ps.gz or *.eps.gz files in LaTeX.
Here is example to include partid/partid.ps.gz file in TeX.  You don't need 
anything special in your TeX installation.

...............
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{epsfig}
............
\begin{figure}[htbp]
  \begin{center}
    \includegraphics[width=\textwidth, bb=20 143 575 698]{partid/partid}
    \label{fig:partid}
  \end{center}
\end{figure}

Hope that helps,
Sasha.

I think yes, but I'm not sure.  In all fairness gzipping *.tex files does not 
gain you a lot of free disk space.
