Len Sorensen I agree if your use to *nix then tar and company is the best method. As regarding compression I was mostly refering to breaking the image, or exe, or whatever into equal parts. that is probably one reason the alt.binaries newsgroups like it so much, and the fact that it's established. So if you break an image into equal lengths, and post them in say 10-15 MB sizes, the compression method really doesn't matter. You just add a few more equal sized chunks. Now I agree if you want to host files then compression makes all the difference, especially if your on a limited budget. The sad truth is if for some unknown reason you decided to upload to one of the various alt.binaries newsgroups and you use tar, or company then most people would be lost as to what format that is. But rar does come in handy if you missed a favorite episode or TV program, or just want some HD loving content. Of course that all depends on what country you live in, right now ABC is trying to stop fast forwarding commercials. If you follow the MPAA they want it illegal to rip content to your harddrive, even if its for personal use. I try to keep it simple, I don't send linux iso's in tar format to my dvd buddies, and I don't send tv programs in rar format to my open source buddies. Then again I can understand the computer scientist point of view, getting all excited about better compression, and makeing things more efficient. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
