It is a really difficult task, as the testing will not only take weeks and God, the data analysis after that... ... but also because I think the current data sets are outdated.So, I would like to enlist your help in gathering information on what datasets I should use for the next revision. Please tell me what kinds of files you usually compress. If it's not too much trouble, please spread word about this poll so we can gather as much information as we can before I start on gathering the files.. and starting the very, very long tests. Thanks!
