Mmmm, pizza. 
185.000 bytes --> 185 kbytes
1819 bytes --> ~2 kbytes

Like that isn't strange .

In the old *.zip times, the hard.dat had a compress ratio of 99%, and the original was 2069 kbytes. This way, in the zip it'd matter 2048 kbytes. This, obviously isn't 183 kbytes...

But then that was the old *.zip way, I don't know how the *.tar.gz compresses the hard.dat, but I think because it's overall a better compression method, it wouldn't matter much.

So, there, even if it were bytes, it IS strange, or I must be calculating the wrong way. Anyway, I'm confused...
