there is no software which can compress the files before downloading but u can alway use softwares like netsonic, onspeed etc so as to maximize the download

for compressing files u can use KGB archiver which claims to compress 500mb to almost 2 mb but it is very very slow and is having high HARDWARE requirements

UHARC BTW- it's high compression multimedia archiver- my vote to this also
after this i will go for winrar3 or later

well so far i had seen the best compression with uharc
a game named shellshock nam 67 was compressed to about 250mb while after decompression it takes about 2.7 gb space
i m not joking

You are asking for a thing, which is practically not possible.
Just forget the thought.

But then........
I got an email from a friend of mine who shared 3 eBooks in PDF format with me.
He attached them to his mail and sent them to my GMail ID.
When I clicked "Download All Attachments", I downloaded a ZIP file with all the files in it. And then I tried clicking on individual files and they were downloaded as PDF files !

How come google compresses the files IMMEDIATELY (<2 sec) and sent them for download to my download manager ???

google might have compressed the files after your friend uploaded it to them

And you have recieved the compressed formatt

It is not possible to compress the data on the net

It has to be compressed somewhere either on your friends computer (before attaching it)
or google must have compressed it

Or your friend is fooling you, He/she might have attached the compressed files
