I have a damn slow Internet connection and searching through millions of digits is not always provided. Despite that: I want to do more with that digits, I have to download them again and again. Its better to get a copy of the 2014th version of PI for later reference local on my hd. I am currently checking the compression tools I know of for the best compression ration. But I will definitly miss those I dont know... And sometimes one can do magic with option and switches of that kind of tools I also dont know of. If someone has suggestions....always appreciated! :) Best regards, mcc
