Bug Description

When I tried to upload new PO/POT files for wxWidgets, it gave a system error if I uploaded a tar.bz2 file. Jordi suggested I use tar.gz instead, and that works fine. But the upload page definitely suggests that tar.bz2 should work.

Either it should be possible to upload tar.bz2, or the example suggestion of tar.bz2 should be removed from the upload page.

I'd prefer if you made bz2 files work. In the wxWidgets case, the gzipped file was about twice as large.
