New compression idea!

Postby phantomreaper » Thu Sep 07, 2006 1:12 am

I know I'm new and all but I was looking through a site which has free downloads kinda like yours and found a Windoze "longhorn" DVD Iso 733MB compressed to 1.4mb

Image

I was thinking, instead of having to go to all the trouble of uploading so many parts just put them into one very-small file, which the image above shows works :D

I've been a huge fan of your site, I love the downloads but for instance Sin all those parts can take forever to download...btw the compressed files can be unziped with Winzip or winrar, no special formats...check out ther site here...
Code: Select all
kgbarchiver.sourceforge.net


Thanks

lol hallucinations. I know that file. Its a fake one. You can make it too. Just fill the file with zeroes and compress it. It will be like uncompressed 1gig compressed 1kb.

Dude, it's no joke! I've extracted it, and it works perfectly! I'm not running a scam, I don't do shit like that, never have never will, I'm just trying to help make it easier for all the users of the site.

Hah, it's a zip, far from the best compression out there. On ething I should also point out that every game/app/whatever compresses differently, some awesomely, some downright terribly, so there's really no ultimate compression app.

Ouch, you were right. I should have double checked it first before making accusations so to speak.... :x

Like an April Fool's prank, and you fell for it perfectly...
Also, 733Mb is CD not DVD size.

Hehe, if it were possible to compress game images that much, everyone would be doing it. :lol:
