  2. KGB Archiver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KGB_Archiver

    KGB Archiver is a discontinued file archiver and data compression utility that employs the PAQ6 compression algorithm. [2] Written in Visual C++ by Tomasz Pawlak, KGB Archiver is designed to achieve a very high compression ratio. It has ten levels of compression, from very weak to maximum. However, at higher compression levels, the time ...

  3. Data compression ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression_ratio

    Data compression ratio is defined as the ratio between the uncompressed size and compressed size: = Thus, a representation that compresses a file's storage size from 10 MB to 2 MB has a compression ratio of 10/2 = 5, often notated as an explicit ratio, 5:1 (read "five" to "one"), or as an implicit ratio, 5/1.

  4. Wikipedia:Database download - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download

    Start downloading a Wikipedia database dump file such as an English Wikipedia dump. It is best to use a download manager such as GetRight so you can resume downloading the file even if your computer crashes or is shut down during the download. Download XAMPPLITE from [2] (you must get the 1.5.0 version for it to work).

  5. Data compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression

    Data compression. In information theory, data compression, source coding, [1] or bit-rate reduction is the process of encoding information using fewer bits than the original representation. [2] Any particular compression is either lossy or lossless. Lossless compression reduces bits by identifying and eliminating statistical redundancy.

  6. RAR (file format) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAR_(file_format)

    Maximum compression dictionary size increased to 1 GB (default for WinRAR 5.x is 32 MB and 4 MB for WinRAR 4.x). Maximum path length for files in RAR and ZIP archives is increased up to 2048 characters. Support for Unicode file names stored in UTF-8 format. Faster compression and decompression. Multicore decompression support. Greatly improves ...

  7. File size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_size

    File size. File size is a measure of how much data a computer file contains or, alternately, how much storage it consumes. Typically, file size is expressed in units of measurement based on the byte. By convention, file size units use either a metric prefix (as in megabyte and gigabyte) or a binary prefix (as in mebibyte and gibibyte ).

  8. Lossless compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossless_compression

    Lossless compression. Lossless compression is a class of data compression that allows the original data to be perfectly reconstructed from the compressed data with no loss of information. Lossless compression is possible because most real-world data exhibits statistical redundancy. [1] By contrast, lossy compression permits reconstruction only ...
