I store the backups of my module on mediafire. I have up to 200 mb storage because I am cheap and keep the free level of service. My module is currenty 192 MB compressed in .zip format. I have one more area to add and I think it will put it over. Will another yield a better compression ratio? The last one I got with .zip was 74%. I use IZArc currently. I have 7-Zip, but don't usually use it.

I think 7zip has the best compression ratio.
.rar is close behind, and may be a little more reliable.

dropbox has 2 gigs free. amazon has 5. dropbox has referral codes so you and a friend can get extra storage, there's a referral thread.

thanks for the responses. I didn't even know that amazon did storage.

Use my referral link (thread link in my sig) and you get an extra 250 MB (I do too).

lzma 5 I think is the best overall compression ratio. This is the default 7zip format.

I ended up sticking with .zip format and using my Amazon.com cloud drive (which I didn't even know existed until it was pointed out to me here. ) I have 5 gigs free and my compressed file is only 200 mb, so I'm good. Thanks for the replies.
