Then what is the use of compression?

PS: the file list goes on...

Group the file to send them in one go? 😮

@Totchinuko ya... I think so... I actually downloaded it...

@Raamakrishnan 😏

guess you've found some good random source

@beleg umm... I don't understand...

All depends on what file type they are. Some files can’t be compressed.

@lewdogg can MP4 videos be compressed?

I guess so, what kind of compression? Maybe they are already compressed to the max.

@Raamakrishnan in algorithmic information theory, the complexity of a string is measured by the length of (the code of) the smallest Turing machine that outputs it, in proportion to its length. So you can suppose the code of this Turing machine as the maximal compression of that string, because it contains the information content of the string in a smaller length. By this definition, a string has maximum complexity if any Turing machine outputing that string has a length bigger than, or equal to the original string, modulo a constant, i.e. you can't have an algorithm print it unless you hardcode it into the algorithm. Such string is considered "random" from AIT point of view.

I thought the lower the percentage, the smaller it is?

Like 40% means it's 60% smaller? So what's 0% then? Nothing?

So then what I said can't be true on your platform, sizes are exactly the same.

Thank you everyone!
