I was just making some software to compress my web updates and wow i saw the compression!
For my test i merged 2 files, the total file came to 1.1 mb. After my prog had done the compression it ended up as 547 kb!

This ain't a zip file it is my own custom compressed file (which can only be opened by my prog). I may make the prog open source but i am not sure yet, i will make it available on the website when i have got it up and running.

Just thought i would share this with everyone cause i feel so proud!

Its not a bug, Its a feature

ZLib can do that kind of compression easy, as usual it's always Speed vs Compression Amount though.
