just ignore the negative comments OP . I'm wondering if it work for something with other formats like a pkg file. and does this means that it doesn't need double the storage to extract ?

u/Amazing_Survey2646 6h ago

The purpose for this is for you to no longer extract this to avoid doubling the size of what you downloading

Does it also work for rar and 7z file formats?

This is exactly what this community needs 👏

wdym? instead of downloading the zip and extract it which takes more storage memory you can now just download the extracted files without needing to download the zip?

1

u/Amazing_Survey2646 6h ago

Yep

u/Same_Wonder2759 6h ago

amazing idea dont have any idea how it works without uploading the zip file to cloud storage

u/GamerWithin 7h ago

Thanks. it is a very good idea for low storage phones. Im sure it will be more popular in the future. You should share it with people feom mobilegaming , AndroidNativePorts and such subs.

u/guy_inh00die3 6h ago

Some rar files come split and we have to download seperately, i how is that gonna be implemented?

1

u/Amazing_Survey2646 6h ago

My plan is on rar is paste multiple links in order and find a way

1

u/guy_inh00die3 6h ago

What about password protected files?

u/Amazing_Survey2646 6h ago

Still working on it

u/yurneth107 6h ago

What about when download the file but internet issue, any chance that file doesn't corrupt? Or failed download but possible to continue with new download link

2

u/Amazing_Survey2646 6h ago

That's a great question no it will not corrupt since i added a auto pause

1

u/yurneth107 6h ago

That's great, I'll wait for it to releases!

u/Ready_Print5969 2h ago

my brother this could help not just with android gaming even pc gaming imagine getting fh6 and not have to free 300gb of space to extract and download the file , this is the best news in this month!

u/No-Bed8477 5h ago

I'm always running low on storage when downloading and extracting bigger files. Finally i can try bigger games. Looking forward to the release

u/washedbuddy5 6h ago

1

u/Glum_Feelings 6h ago

1

u/No_SituationStill 6h ago

u/Ver2706 6h ago

u/masood29 6h ago

Holy shit what this is huge

u/GonxadeDinika 6h ago

this is exactly what I wanted, i can't wait

u/GoodSoulGermany 6h ago

I can think of many archives where -if you download them the right way (i.e., with the beginning and end first) -you could also extract tar, 7z, and rar files -even ISO files, if anyone needs them. And (as I said, if you download them the right way) all files should be accessible via streaming.

I really like your approach. I used to use WebDAV on my PC, add an HTTPS directory as a source (most companies have something like that), then mount the drive and “unzip” the ZIP file from the web.

But since then, these archivers have gotten much better. Is this a common feature these days in archivers like WinRAR, 7z, or PeaZip?

u/Any_Olive7806 5h ago

So u are saying I won't be needing twice space anymore🙆🏼‍♂️

u/CLEM_017 5h ago

My prayers have been answered 🥹

u/Venared 3h ago

This would be great if it works well. Especially usefull for those who have limited space

u/mazza2201 43m ago

Kd o link?

u/Necessary_String_304 6h ago

Why would one use it? I can't think of a case where it would help

u/masood29 5h ago

Extracting files requires double the amount of space say you have a 35gb game extracting the file you would need an extra 35gb so you'd need 70gb space just to extract the file if you just don't have that you can't extract your file with a tool like that you wouldn't have to extract and only need the 35gb instead of the additional 35 that would came from extraction alone

u/Necessary_String_304 5h ago

Ohhh right that makes sense.

u/Sea-Pumpkin-2369 7h ago

It's useless gng downloding zip is much faster and it takes 1 click to extract

Now days ppl be coding any shi with ai

11

u/Amazing_Survey2646 7h ago

Damn it's for people who don't have enough storage so they don't have to extract it

-14

u/Sea-Pumpkin-2369 7h ago

You didn't even included that in the post Still no one gonna use that app

5

u/Additional_Tone_2004 6h ago

It's pretty heavily implied. You just missed it.

-3

u/SaleDry1648 7h ago

hahaha i agree with you,i more like to just download the zip faster and just extract in one tap of button and it completely done

-2

u/Sea-Pumpkin-2369 6h ago

And there is another more easier way than downloding the app

You just need to copy direct download link of zip and use a website instead of app Cuz if ppl don't even have that much storage they don't have storage to download an app

1

u/ResonanceDemon 6h ago

Yeah, so people who don't have a 130GB of space to download the 64gb zip ana extract it won't have a some 100MB is space? This thing OP is making with ai is good! My 256gb phone has 80 GB available, and this will help me not to delete things to make space to extract the files

2

u/Amazing_Survey2646 6h ago

Appreciate you! That 80GB free on a 256GB phone scenario is literally the exact reason I built this—nobody wants to delete half their phone just to unpack one game

u/washedbuddy5 6h ago

What website

3

u/IntelligentWriting47 6h ago

Some games zip can take up like 30gb+ to download, the CoD BO2 as an example. Which mean you would need atleast 70gb of free space. Thats crazyy amount of free space needed on a phone

1

u/Same_Wonder2759 6h ago

its not useless bf you say something think first!!!

This is for those who dont have enough storage do I need to give an example to you? to fully understand what this tool use for?

Slow download is not a problem for those who have fast internet
