Compress the XML-traffic between the client and the server using the SOAPExtensions mechanism and any compression algorithm. You can use a ZIP-compression for you data. There are a lot of open-source compression libraries for C#. For example, you can use a free library called SharpZipLib to compress your web methods. Read this article and download the "CompressionExtension" project. Adding a compression to your webservice is very easy: include the downloaded project into your solution, reference it in your webservice, and mark your web methods with [CompressionExtension] in the proxy-class code. Also, add the [CompressionExtension] flag in the .asmx component. That's it.
