Some thoughts on it: Expose a compression codec selector on the upload page would help. ( see http://wiki.freenetproject.org/FCP2p0ClientPut, parameter 'codecs') Compressing a 1G file with all codecs to find the best is indeed a bad idea ;), but compressing a non-lzma-precompressed file with LZMA should allways save at least a few chunks. Looking at filenames/extensions is imho not the best way, most compression tools have a strenght parameter: 'zip -0' gives you a 'tar effect', 'zip -9' is maybe already optimized. mv data.lzma2 data.dat MfG saces
