The best use of compression is for files that are repetitive, written seldom, usually accessed sequentially, and not themselves compressed. Log files are an ideal example. Compressing files that are less than 4 kB or already compressed (like .zip or .jpg or .avi) may make them bigger as well as slower.[citation needed] Users should avoid compressing executables like .exe and .dll (they may be paged in and out in 4 kB pages). Compressing system files used at bootup like drivers, NTLDR, winload.exe, or BOOTMGR may prevent the system from booting correctly.[26]
According to the user reports, the compressed (zipped) folder is invalid error often occurs when they try to open or download the .zip folder/files. Windows File Explorer cannot open the zip files and the WinRAR say the file is corrupt. Here is a true user report from the answer.microsoft forum.

(The backslash before the asterisk is only required if the shell expands wildcards, as in Unix; double quotes could have been used instead, as in the source examples below.) To extract to standard output all members of letters.zip whose names end in .tex, auto-converting to the local end-of-line convention and piping the output into more:
If you fail to expand and open a zip file on Mac, you can re-download it under a stable Internet connection to verify if the corruption of the zip file is the case. If unfortunately, you still can't extract the redownloaded zip file and get the error message like Unable to expand filename.zip (Error 1 - Operation not permitted) or other, you can follow the solutions below to unzip the file on your MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, or other Mac models.
If it does try to compress the .zip it would probably only do so once - I presume it flags the file as "I have already looked at this file on such/such date" - otherwise it would not know when it had been modified after being added to chunk table.
Please note that using setuid-root can result unforeseen privilege escalation and its usage is discouraged. Only the absolutely trusted users must be granted such access. Below is an example how this can be done for users in the ntfsuser group to be able to mount any NTFS volume if they have also the needed volume access rights.addgroup ntfsuser chown root:ntfsuser $(which ntfs-3g) chmod 4750 $(which ntfs-3g) usermod -aG ntfsuser allowed-userThe setuid-root ntfs-3g driver applies the principle of least privilege during its lifetime as a safety measure.
When mounting with the lowntfs-3g variant, you can get case insensitive access to files by using the option ignore_case. Doing so, all files will be shown with lower case letters in directory listings. In some situations, a directory busy error may occur, you can fix it on recent kernels by applying a patch to the fuse kernel module.
NTFS supports built-in, transparent compression and encryption of files and directories on the file system level. Reading and writing transparently compressed files are fully supported, but reading or writing encrypted files are not supported at the moment. Please note that compressed files, like .zip, .gz, .rar, etc, can be freely modified because they are compressed on the file, not on the file system level.
Workaround: Use a software which can compact the disk space (e.g. the free, open source ntfsresize: shrink then enlarge after making a backup). Please note, file level defragmentation, what the built-in Windows defragmenter is only capable, does not help usually.
My current vba workaround is to automatically create the empty zip file on the hard drive, then move copy (via FileSystemObject class) a pre-existing empty zipfile.zip on the hard drive to the MicroSD or Flash drive, then renaming it according to characteristics of the intended content before proceeding to send files to it. This is effective as a stop-gap but certainly not preferred.
When using this space-saving feature, compressed files (such as .mp3, .zip, and .mp4 files) won't shrink storage usage further. Also, decompression is required to send the files over the network, which means the feature won't save you bandwidth, and it'll need more time to complete the process. If you want to send files using compression, you should be using another compression container (such as Zip) or the SMB compression feature for file transmissions.
This article explains how the Zip file format and its compression scheme work in great detail: LZ77 compression, Huffman coding, Deflate and all. It tells some of the history, and provides a reasonably efficient example implementation written from scratch in C. The source code is available in hwzip-2.1.zip.
Update 2022-04-30: Hadrien Dorio ported hwzip to the Zig programming language. In the process he found an overflow bug in the compression ratio computation in zip_callback() and some incorrect uses of the CHECK macro in the unit tests. Those bugs have been fixed in hwzip-2.1.zip.
Update 2020-10-11: In hwzip-1.4.zip, the distance2dist table was split into two smaller tables, reducing the binary size by 32 KB. It also ensures that Deflate blocks always emit at least two non-zero dist codeword lengths, for compatibility with old zlib versions.
Improved: The update process, the update wizard will automatically backup important files like FileVista.config and FileVista.vdb5 before starting an update. The backed up files will be zipped as "backup-X.X.X.zip" in "App_Data\Backup"" folder. This will make it easier to roll back your original configuration if something goes wrong while updating the database. In the past, you needed to backup these files manually before starting the update just in case. 2ff7e9595c
