When transferring large files via the Internet, it is recommended to use archivers first. These programs can significantly reduce the size of data, which speeds up the download of information to external resources.
Necessary
- - 7-Zip;
- - Unreal Commander.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose a suitable archiver. Use the popular WinRar or 7-Zip programs. You can also use file managers with built-in plugins. Examples of such programs are the Unreal Commander and Total Commander utilities. The first mentioned program is distributed free of charge.
Step 2
Install the selected utility. If you decide to use separate archivers, restart your computer after installing the program. This is required to embed files into the operating system.
Step 3
Create a new folder on your hard drive. Move or copy the files to be included in the archive. After preparing the information for compression, right-click on the icon of the required directory.
Step 4
In the expanded menu, select the 7-Zip (WinRar) item. Wait for the new submenu to open and click on the "Add to archive" item. After a while, the archiver program window will be launched.
Step 5
Enter the name of the future file. If you plan to upload information to external resources, do not use Russian letters, spaces and punctuation marks. Select the archive format. Expand the Compression Level column. Select "Maximum" or "Ultra".
Step 6
Remember that some resources have a limit on the maximum size of a single file. Fill in the "Split into volumes" field by entering the desired value. After preparing all the necessary parameters for creating an archive, click the Ok button.
Step 7
Wait for the program to finish running. The duration of this process can vary greatly depending on the size of the source folder, the selected compression rate, and the type of files being processed.
Step 8
If you have included installation files for programs or utilities in the archive, extract them from the archive before installing. Archivers are not always able to get full access to certain data stored in a compressed form.
