Depends what it is, though. For instance, there were 3 CDs of DivX "Invader Zim" on there. (It's an excellent kid's animated TV show from America - bit I don't watch TV and had neverseen it.) Firstly, each file is 150MB or so, and the Mac won't serve files that big reliably; secondly, as they're MPEG4, they're *highly* compressed already and Zipping them won't make any difference. If you try to compress something that's already compressed, it tends to get /bigger./ -- Liam Proven � http://lproven.livejournal.com -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
