Dear Zoltan,
No. 2 was best for me. Now it is 20 mB and OK
No 1. Gave a filesize 1.2 Gb - I had already tried that solution.
Thanks
Regards
Lene

Dear Lene,
1st solution
Open ASCII GRID as a raster layer and in the context menu of the layer select Save as...
2nd solution
>From the Raster menu select Conversion -> Translate (Convert format), select input and output raster and format.
This way you get a single band raster which is not the most beautiful as a background layer. You had better to make a color relief (Raster menu -> Analysis -> DEM) and a hillshade. Use blending of the color relief and hillshade to get a nice terrain background in QGIS 2.
Regards,
Zoltan
