Is it possible to have split files with zip?
- romed 8y agoYes, it is. I feel like this hack is a wry nod to the old warez scene where multipart archives within archives were, for some reason, de rigueur.
- oorza 8y agoNo way to resume BBS and later FTP uploads back in the day.
- PhasmaFelis 8y agoI thought it was assumed that the files, once downloaded, would be distributed locally on floppies. The sub-archives were usually 1.44MB to fit on a 3.5". When did resumable BBS download protocols become a thing? ZMODEM at least was widely used by the early '90s.
