ADVERTISEMENTS
Krun.ch is a website provide online compression services that allow you compress compress / uncompress files over the internet. Krunch compression tools currently just support four types of compression format (Zip, Rar, Tar and GZip) only. meanwhile, Krunch online Compression tools still in beta version.
Types of tasks that available on Krunch online compression tools:-
- Upload files and compress files.
- Upload files and decompress files that already compressed files.
- Uncompress and view/download compressed web files into your desktop.
- Grab files from the internet, compress them, and then download them.
For me, this compression tools is totally awesome where you compress and decompress files via internet. so, less troublesome for downloading compression application just for single compressed files.

I test and made a small review of krun.ch on my french blog, but I think that the real use of this service will be very limited, don’t you think?

Hi Henri…
it is worth for use the krunch if just compress a single files but if your files size is over than 1MB. it is advise using compress application locally compress the files via internet.
all this process is based on internet bandwidth.

I think this is more suited to school/corporate users as being a student at a college, the college does NOT install a compression utility, and with some files reaching 60mb+ each, compression websites like this would help.

What use is this ? download a shareware/free zip version and compress locally. Most reason to compress is to send over the internet. if you dont have the bandwidth to send the original file.. then how does it get there in the first place .. this is an Egg with no Chicken!

is this K for KDE or are some other people stealing KDE’s policy of changing every C into K?
really though, if it works automaticly, IE, the TCP/IP or UDP protocols automaticlly compress and decompress the data streams then i’m for it. if i need to install the program everywhere… what is it good for? I can compress in CAB files which are much better, or in tar.gz

What we need here is a compressor program running right from the web browser. It would be a pain to upload a 10meg word doc in first place (depends on the bandwidth) to get just a 300kb file in return.
You want to compress cuz it takes a lot less to transfer, but still you need to transfer the original bulky file. Will work for people with good bandwidth or people uploading small files.
Other idea. I know some web servers can send you web pages in compressed form (you get them in a fraction), is there a way to tell the browser to submit the file to krunch using on-the-fly compression? Ideas?
