Can i concatenate two already gzipped files (using gzip) and then gunzip them?
Can i concatenate two already gzipped files (using gzip) and then gunzip them? As of today, I download the gzipped files from remote servers, gunzip them individually and then cat them to merge. Looking to make things faster here by merging the gzipped files and then gunzipping.

Yes. The concatenation of gzip streams is also a valid gzip stream. The result of gunzipping is the concatenation of the uncompressed data.
