Shoshoni Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 What is to your opinion, the best, low res. file compression utility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 What is to your opinion, the best, low res. file compression utility?That's a bit of a hard question to answer. 7-zip is freeware and a small installer, but to use Ultra Compression, you need at least 512MB of RAM. I compressed the OpenOffice installer last night, and it used 600MB of RAM (I've got 1GB).The more compression you want, the more RAM you'll need (typically).

Technoguy Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 ty pratha for that link.what this DHT support stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 DHT means that there's no tracker controlling the torrent. It basically allows all the users to connect to each other instead of via a central computer (that could potentially be shutdown). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technoguy Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 k so its sort a p2p like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Well... the Bit Torrent network is a P2P network. uTorrent is just a client program that allows you to connect to the torrents that are out there.DHT simply de-centralizes the network, so there's no one server that anyone can target/attack.

suryad Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I like Azureus....works like a charm.And I use Adobe Acrobat pro 7 cause it is an excellent tool. Sure expensive but **** it gets the job done. OOo exports to pdf but the pages are jpegs so sometimes it is kind of an inconvenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
