Re: New compression method
It's possible that recompressing a file can make it smaller, depending on the compression scheme used, but, <edit>I think</edit> most modern compression schemes compress as much as they can on there first pass (sometimes because there first pass really includes several passes at compressing the data).
Anyway, compressing a file from 1Mb to 515 bytes doesn't really say anything about your compression scheme. If you give me a file of any size, I can very simply write a compression scheme to compress it to 0 bytes. If you can take arbitrary files and consistently compress them to a small size, then you have a compression scheme of merit.
