Reducing clip filesize

Hi people, I'm one of the unlucky guys who isn't fortunate enough to have a cable or
a DSL-Inet connection, so I thought about a way to reduce the size of files.
This could also help you guys to put up more files for download as I read about the
problems with free webspace
Eventhough everybody kept telling me zipping the files wasn't worth it because video files are
already compressed in their special format, but making them to *.ace files reduces their
filesize a great deal. I've tried so with a *.rm file, which didn't really pay off, the original
filesize was 7.89 MB, after compressing it the ace filesize was 6.81 MB so about a meg, which
isn't too bad actually. But using winace on (especially large) *.mpeg files really helps reducing
the size. The original filesize was 14.2 MB, the compressed ace-archive only had 10.5 MB and
I think investing about 1 min in converting the files to ace-archives could save a lot of
web-space and will reduce the download time.

Hope this helps anybody
