Introduction:
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you one of the greatest programs ever made: Peazip. Before you go "OMFG GAY NAME LOLZ0RS", know that this program is basically Winrar on steroids. I have made this guide for those who have a massive crapload of stuff on their harddrive and want to get rid of it, etc.
Note that this doesn't work as well with media (video, audio). It works much better with programs.
What this program does:
-Converts large files into small files so you can email them, whatever
-Good for putting tons of programs + games in a small file
Example: You're gonna reformat. You don't wanna download all your stuff g
onto your fresh harddrive. Solution? Download all your shit now, put all of it in a folder, then compress it using this program.
What this program does NOT do:
-Shrink your crap. Meaning that you can't shrink a 1GB iso into 4MB then play it. However, now you can email your whole game to others because it's only 4MB. All the other people have to do is install this program and extract the iso
Ok, how do I do this?
* Download Peazip
* Install Peazip
* Run it, click on Add File or Add Folder
* Navigate to your crap
* Click on the down arrow next to the Pea icon
* Archive Type: PAQ
* Compression: Depends on your system. Start with 7 and work your way down until it doesn't give you a memory error. Don't choose level 8 unless you have a ton of RAM to spare.
* Note: It will sit at the end for a REALLY long time. It's not frozen.
* Your outputted file should be really tiny now. Feel free to do whatever with it.
The settings:
OMFG, U LIE! No, I don't. Here's a pic for you nonbelievers.
