Oh, why do we have arbitrary compression anyways, btw? :) (Arbitrary because there is no explicit standard in the specs, as far as I know, which can easily lead to completely different CHKs for the same file across different versions, if the settings are even slightly changed (ie. slightly different compression algorithm/level, or threshold for using it, or explicit user choice, etc.)) Is the massive computer and time overhead really necessary to reduce filesizes by 1%? (I assume jpeg and zip and mpeg4 etc compression algorithms are already good enough? And why the heck is all this massive overhead done THREE times? Are gzip bzip and lzma really all /that/ different??) _______________________________________________ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
