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.

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.
@theo
don’t you find it annoying when people assume you love, are into and responsible for anything that’s related to IT?
(not saying you’re doing this japes)
I’d just post them to big jay’s address.
(this is the response you wanted, wasn’t it)
it’s pictures of a bell end machine. not even joking.
(even though you are)
his picture is of an evil AI robot, he handles some of the techy bits on the forum, and I believe he works for Maplins.
Bet he loves it.
