u cant zip twice.

ive done it now anyway. theres a file compression called 7z. compresses it even more than winrar

ahh, that 7z didnt work in the end.

yeah i should get a new flash drive. thing is though, i bought one when i was in college. 128mb!! lol

i only have files the size of 5 meg ish for work and max is 20meg so ive never needed to upgrade.

looks like il have to get myself a 1g flash drive.

just a bitch. the file is 702meg and i need to shave 2 or 3 meg off it to fit onto a cd

i think thats just got the same file compression method as 7z and winrar

nope its a high compression compressor :D

i think its better.... :) as u can see from the results... the bytes are clearly lower than those from winrar 3.51

its a divx file.
Bugger. It's already well compressed then...

...and no editing software to work with?

Double bummer
PKzip it maybe?

gzip even?

Try FreeArc and see if can compress it more. Use the highest compression settings possible. You may even be able to double zip it.

It's possible to create a gigabyte or larger size text file with all 'a's in it, then compress it multiple times 'til it is really small. A compressed file like this can lock systems that have anti-virus software set up to expand and scan compressed files.

you're so damn smart...lol


i used to have this program write files depending on what file size i desired.

used it for quotas and shit when dloading...

worked like a charmed, but im sure they hated blank files!
