I have a 100MB of webspace with an ISP.
I've used up 35mb so far according to the management thing.
Anyway I want to upload a PHP / MySQL application called EGroupware which is like an online calender, forum, etc.
Anyway it comes zipped so I unzip it and click onproperties to see how big it is.
And I get two very different values.
1) says 20mb
2) It says space taken on the disk over 100mb
Now I know this is cos the application is made up of zillions of tiny, tiny files but cos the way windows works each little file on my FAT32 system I think is taking up 32kb of space.
My ISP I'm sure is using Linux server so how do I work out how much of my 100 MB of space will be used up??
20mb / 100mb or somehwere inbetween??
