Simply Thai Computers File Compression Before transferring files on the Internet, it is important to have some understanding of file compression. To send uncompressed files over the Internet, whether to friends or family or even to a person you've never met before is, to say the least, cruel and unusual punishment. Uncompressed files, many of which are 10 times larger than their compressed cousins, can take forever to download. In addition, the very act of downloading is a bandwidth hog, with the result that any concurrent Internet surfing will slow in consideration of your new bandwidth partner (the downloading file). In the worst-case scenario, that uncompressed file you just finished sending your boss has now grabbed all of the remaining space in his or her e-mail account, with the result that all subsequent e-mails sent to that same address are rejected for lack of space. Remember, most Internet Service Providers (ISPs) limit POP (Post Office Protocol) e-mail account space to a paltry 5MB. In short, if you don't compress your files before sending these over the Internet, it's probably best that you don't. What is file compression and how does it work? For the more technically inclined, the rewriting of data to reduce file sizes is generally accomplished using some variation of the LZ adaptive dictionary-based algorithm. LZ refers to Lempel and Ziv, the algorithm's creators, and dictionary refers to the method of cataloguing the various pieces of data. How is the original document restored after removing all of these bits and bytes? For related information on this topic, see our sections on In summary, it's best to send only compressed files over the Internet. Doing so lets other users know that you truly understand the nature of file transfers and that — more importantly — you are considerate of their time and e-mail account limitations. |
