Hi everyone,
I've been investigating for a while about this, but with no luck yet.
Does anybody know a way to do it?
Many thanks,

Well,
if you load a compressed file into a byte array, you can create two new byte
arrays and store the first half of the original bytes in one, and the second
half in the other, and then save them to the filesystem. Are you asking "how
to do this?"

Thanks for your answer Peter.
I'll explain a little bit what i'm trying to do, because maybe it can
be done without zipping files.
Basically, i have a big file(it's a SharePoint site's backup, *.fwp
file) in one server, that is moved to a ftp folder every night, and
downloaded from another pc. These tasks are run automatically by a c#
process I made.
The time of download is of about 3hs, so I thought splitting the file
into pieces, and then downloading them using threading, will make this
process quicker.
I tried to split the file without zipping it, but when I merge it
back, it doesn't seem to work. If you want I can paste my code here so
you can see it, because maybe I did something wrong.
What I would probably do here is to use either Winzip or WinRar with a batch
file (they have DOS companions that accept batch comands) with "Store only" -
no-compression for speed, to split up the files. This .bat or .cmd file can
be run on a scheduled basis through Task Scheduler.

Take a look at the 7zip SDK ... it may allow you to programmaticall y

I'll try this, thanks.
But I just wanted to know something also...
Spliting a file and then merging it back must work? Even with
"complex" files' types?
I'm asking this because I tried it with a ".txt" file and it worked,
but then, when i tried with an excel file with vb code inside, when i
opened it, it threw me a message like something was wrong, but then I
could see the grid's content, but the vb code wasn't there any more.
The file's size was the same than the original and all.
Then, when i tried it with a SharePoint's backup file (*.fwp) and
tried to restore a site through command line, i got an error saying
the file was corrupted or something like that.
Thanks again,
Brian

Hi,
I'm trying to write a function that adds a file-like-object to a
compressed tarfile... eg ".tar.gz" or ".tar.bz2"
I've had a look at the tarfile module but the append mode doesn't support
compressed tarfiles... :(
Any thoughts on what I can do to get around this?

Does anyone know how to get the compressed size of a file on disk?
FileInfo.Length gives the uncompressed size of a file, but I need to find
the amount of disk space taken up by files in compressed directories
(Windows XP). Getting the "compressed" attribute is available, but how does
one get the compressed size?
Thanks in advance.

I am using the System.Compression.GZipStream class, and I noticed that

Another less-consistent example of this behavior is found in the case

larger ones up to 93% compression ratio) and others end up...
