Zip compressing files not really compressed

Asked By jessie leja 0 points N/A Posted on - 12/01/2011

Hi,
I already tried compressing it into .zip but the file size only reduces just a lil bit, from  699MB to 689MB which is still too large. I tried some sites that would send huge files but it doesn't work, such as yousendit.com and filemail. I already tried too sending it through gmail, yahoomail and msn, but it only uploads in just few minutes but at the end it says fail to send it because its too large. Anybody could give my any ideas please? I would gladly appreciate it. Thanks!

Zip compressing files not really compressed

 

Hi,

 

Compressing files until now has many complains of the user even if the files compressed already the user still want it to be more compressed. I recommend 7 zip i think this is more comprised than the other. Other option is to look for a fast internet connection so that you don't hassle zipping your files. You can upload file to the internet cafe using flash drive, this is the guarantee solution i could find in your problem which is just minimal. You can use Mediafire this is unlimited upload, it can support 10GB or more. Don't use the old ones the Yahoomail and MSN it is ideal only for the email application. Mediafire has a huge space this is the backup of all of my files, especially on the Operating System installer, Online Games and Lan Games.

 

Thanks,

Zip compressing files not really compressed

Hi,

I have read your problem i would like to suggest you use winrar software you may download it fron https://www.win-rar.com/ install it and which file you want to compress , select that file and right click "Add to Archive" then

Check Archive Format to Winrar and Compress method to Best click OK, Your Compressing starts and you will see like that

Its look like this and when you fill will be completely compress  then

You will see this folder was 314MB its compress to  27MB , I hope you understand well and you like my tutrial 🙂 now you may send it by mail too or you may upload at www.4shared.com and share to your friends online!

Another Zipping utility that you can use is KGB Archiver. You can use this as a compression tool. To download and install, please watch the video below:
