When
it comes to shuttling stuff over the Internet, less is more. You
may be sending something sliced-bread great, but anything gets stale
after a half-hour download. The key is to compress files until they're
as small as can be before you send them off. Compression programs
like WinZip or
Stuffit
compress files (into .zip, .sea, .sit, or .tar files) by replacing
space-consuming repetitions of code with pithy, place-holder code
that is later re-created when the file is decompressed (using corresponding,
compatible software on the receiving end). |
