Many people still have 1MB/s or slower connections. 77MB vs 27MB is a big difference in download time.

For 55MB->42MB I definitely wouldn't have bothered. > If you're taking 320 MB & compressing it to 35 MB I'm going to guess > that the majority of your files aren't binaries or of similar complexity but > are 'data' such as XML, images etc. Actually, no. It's a whole whack of executables. Unfortunately, several of them are statically linked against a similar set of libraries, which I expect is where 7zip is finding the redundancy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
