HFLR Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Nope, It stays at the same size of the first time you zipped it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Nope, there's only so much that data can be compressed. Once it hits that, no amount of re-compression will help, unless you want to use a different algorithm - such as compressing to ZIP, then 7ZIP, or ZIP then RAR.
