That's what happens when you compress already heavily compressed 700 MB anime bluray rips.

try again..

>>56465892
was it video files or some shit? Those are already compressed idiot

>>56465924
>>56465912
No, just plain pictures and some text files

>>56465934
so mostly compressed stuff

unless your pictures are bmp/pnm/etc, they're already compressed (such as jpg/png)

text files tend to compress very well, however

>>56466050
Yea cuz text be mirrored in duplicate letters.. you get like 98% compressed rate

>compress file
>output file is larger than source

>>56465892
It's worth it for better file transfer speeds. Unless it was already a single file then you're dumb.

storage is literally free now.

>giving your files to the cloud jew

>>56467179
There's no way to avoid this with lossless compression. Some files will become smaller some will become larger.

Did you mean: 84%

Why hasn't Microsoft made better compression than 7z?
I thought Microsoft is the best

yeah, you aren't wasting time and energy compressing and decompressing them retard

>>56467426
sending and reading data over the network or to/from a HDD/SSD is much much more energy and time consuming and compressing and decompressing on the fly with and efficient implementation like zlib or google snappy

>>56467426
> you aren't wasting time
If there's a good CPU - no, I don't. It can be done on the fly while transferring, rsync had this option for years.
