MCT Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 i just downloaded winace for something new to try, i was testing the compression in it, i compressed 1GB of harddrive space to 436MB then i got thinking that, since im on dialup (aswell as probly half the others that use ap) u could maybe make the full release alot smaller by compressing it in winace b4 u put it on a site? just a suggestion :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akaladis Veteran Posted March 21, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 21, 2004 well... we have tried many archivers... winace, winrar and 7zip have always been the top solutions... it just looks like 7zip works better for AutoPatcher :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried about 5 different compression methods, this seems to be the best so far. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Veteran Posted March 21, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 21, 2004 it doesn't really matter what is used so long as it is a self-extractor, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlishFun Veteran Posted March 21, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 21, 2004 it doesn't really matter what is used so long as it is a self-extractor, right? Sorta. I want it compressed for space. (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akaladis Veteran Posted March 21, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 21, 2004 well.. of course we want a Self-Extracted archive, but other than that, 7zip performs better imo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't beat the compression, at least, I've yet to see it beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
