kg archive program can compress 1gb to 2 MB yes its not a typo


http://kgbarchiver.sourceforge.net/

it's ahead of time
it could be useful if you have a 5GB of RAM and 9.0 GHz processor
otherwise it would take days
but say you have a few photos and you want it to be 150k to send to your friend
its great
them naughty pirates will have a field day with this program

its a program to keep a eye on

Hmm i think you may be right about the pirates, i can see full dvds being compressed to a few mb instead of 5gb

Where did you get those numbers from, the home page (you linked to) suggested nothing near that kind of compression ratio.

In fact the compression example is from 19.9 MB to 1.5 MB (I think, please excuse me if I'm wrong!).

Re: kg archive program can compress 1gb to 2 MB yes its not a typo


I tried compressing a 2.1 mb mp3 file, on the "good" setting it took 10 mins to compress and the same to uncompress again it reduced the file size from 2,159,192 bytes to 2,109,797

rar only managed 2,143,312 on its maximum setting, but then it only took 6 seconds.

P.S. on maximum compression KGB said it would take like 8000 hours so I cancled it.

Re: kg archive program can compress 1gb to 2 MB yes its not a typo


guys you're forgetting that most all files you use are heavily compresesd anyhow. eg

bitmpa vs jpeg.
avi mpeg1 vs xvid mpeg4
mp3 vs wav

The claims only work on text files with no compression on them already. You can't compress something indefintely, it relies on clever algorithms to spot patterns within the data and write code for the pattern to deciher a less space intensive one.

eg I could give you 2 versions of the complete volumes of shakespeare. A compression onf 2-1 would be easy, just write original volume X2 and you have half the space
