just wondering why you did so? does alcohol read rars?

no, but it takes less time to upload a smaller iso...plus it uses less storage space

Not a bad compression. Id like to know if any app can compress a 700mb to 500mb or under. Often find myself putting them on cd, then losing them , would be easier storing my fave cds on my second drive.

after trying various iso's and bin's, basically i've found that the space you save by compression with winRAR is very variable

i suppose you should just try using winrar or uharc and seeing how well they compress...

if your downloading bin/iso files of emule, have a look at the file info there, some of them same quite alot to compresion, just via emule.
