Some files are more efficiently compressed than others
What came first: the thread title, or the content?
The files in your folder were probably already in a compressed format - mp3, png, gif, jpg, jar or something on those lines.
Oh and 2) delete the files. You’ll get the size down to practically nothing.
tell you what, i’m not content with the size of these fucking files
some files are more efficiently compressed than other files’ mothers.
how do i send big jay pegs then
Are they jpegs of a dog? If so then just email the person and say “it’s a picture of a dog”.
Upload them to dropbox and share the link?
(You can open each one individually in a decent graphics program and set the compression ratio to something higher, winzip/winrar won’t do anything for you.)
Use wetransfer. You can’t really compress jpegs, they’re already compressed. Same goes for other compressed file types.
Wetransfer ftw.

Bet he loves it.
