Text files are generally so small that it doesn't matter if they are zipped or not. An analog modem can get the biggest story files in a matter of seconds, or a couple of minutes at worst. This really isn't worth bothering anyone else about.

well thats kinda how i store all my fics i get as. The main reason for that is my hard drive is only 5gigs. I zip all my ranma fics in one folder and all the rest in there own little folders so i can save space. It also helps to have them zipped for when i share storys with people.

No clue about a site that stores fics in zipped format... I don't have 'm zipped on HDD either. Then again, I haven't got a 5 gig totdal capacity limit (more like 180 gig at the moment).
I do zip the files occassionally for moving them about on my IPaq tho.

Ya i know i gotta get a bigger hard drive or get a new computer. But for now this is all i got to work with so hopefully i dont get another virus anytime soon. I found one group on yahoo that has there storys zipped in there archive, but unfortently it was deleted from my bookmarks when my hard drive went down the drain. I really hate viruses and norton antivirus for not catching it for it killed my puny 5 gig hd. Sigh oh well maybe i'll win the lottery or something and buy me a alienware laptop.
On another note, All my fics im writing will be in zip format if i send out copys of em. You have bin worned.(lovley spelling neh?

Yah i remeber it was the ffml site that no longer exists even though everone still links to it. I wish someone would put a site like that back up and keep it up. Closest i can come to that site is floresticas page. :D which i cant remember the link for.

That probably would've been this link: ftp://ftp.cs.ubc.ca/pub/archive/anime-fan-works/Ranma/
Which unfortunatly is removed from that FTP. It's FAQ still is around tho: http://archives.eyrie.org/anime/00RAACFAQ
A bit of digging in Google however yielded this site... http://archives.eyrie.org/anime/
That help any?

You could always try this link:
ftp://ftp.gweep.ca/pub/anime/anime-fan-works/
I'm not sure, but it seems to have all the same files as the site Neko- gave, though this seem to be the site "The Penultimate Ranma Fanfic Index" Uses for those stories it have a local copy of.
And if you're worried about more viruses, you should try NOD32. It's the best antivirus out there, though you have to pay to get it.
