Sure, I'd use an archive if the files were large, but the largest in this case is only 6k which isn't really a big deal (even for Geir on-a-plane). Of course, I realise that browsing is just a more convinient form of "downloading". But, IMHO, the 85% saving per download on attachments this size is insignificant. The real saving obtained by using a zip file comes from the fact that fewer people will bother to download it! This is a saving that I think the project would be better to manage without. ;-) Regards, Mark. > Mark Hindess wrote: > > On 25 April 2006 at 9:22, "Paulex Yang (JIRA)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > >> [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-162?page=all ] > >> > >> Paulex Yang updated HARMONY-162: > >> -------------------------------- > >> > >> Attachment: Harmony162.zip > >> > >> Please try this patch, thanks > >> > > > > Paulex, > > > > In the interest of getting more eyes on patches, it might be better not > > to zip attachments unless there are an excessive number of them.
