Your pics are obviously bigger than the ones from femjoy, so your zip will always be bigger than theirs.

Is it really a problem that your zips are too big? Your members are used to seeing big high resolution pictures one by one, the zip is just a convenient way for them to get an entire photoset on their hard drive without having to save them one by one.

You can always offer your members two zip files for each set: one with the big uncompressed images they're used to and another with downsized and compressed images for a faster download. Give them a choice.

Jarmusch Aw, Dad, you've done a lot of great things, but you're a very old man, and old people are useless Join Date: Sep 2005 Posts: 26	Your pics are obviously bigger than the ones from femjoy, so your zip will always be bigger than theirs.
