DarkenedFantasies shouted: As for the 0 bytes zip, you just rename the file extension of any 0-byte file to zip. I however had to make it 1 byte because SEN throws an error when uploading a 0 bytes file.
yeah, that much is obvious, but I can only check if that's actualy the case (and not just the size rounded down) if I download the file.

NudeRaider -- Oh and that's on Win 10 as well, but a IoT Enterprise LTSC edition which (I think?) misses the latest feature upgrades, despite being current on security updates.

DarkenedFantasies shouted: On Win10, when I right-click > New > Compressed Folder, I get the 22B file that I had. This is only the EOCD header, with the magic number 0x06054B50 and the remaining 18 bytes are null.
oof, so much to unpack for such a seemingly insignificant topic. Firstly I tried with 7zip. Choosing the default right click > 7zip > Send to "filename.zip" on an empty file creates a 156 Bytes .zip. 82 Bytes I only get via custom options. Secondly I don't have > New > Compressed folder, I have Send To > Compressed (zipped) Folder. When I do that Windows refuses to create it because it's empty. If I do it on a 0 Byte file the resulting zip is 140 Bytes. Under rightclick -> new (on the empty area of a folder) I can only create a (regular) folder and several file types like text, spreadsheet, image etc. but not zip.

DarkenedFantasies shouted: i was typing 0KB as shorthand for 0.02KB, but what would you be curious about? could simply be any type of empty file that's had the file extension renamed to zip. with 0 bytes of data, there's nothing at all to investigate.
yes. That's already 2 things I'd investigate. :lol: Also still interested at 20 Bytes because the smallest I can get is 82.

DarkenedFantasies -- here ya go, I updated it to a 0KB zip file... or is it truly 0KB this time? hmmmmmmm...

DarkenedFantasies shouted: Ultraviolet There are 5 downloads on my 0KB zip file, so I think a bunch of those gotta be bots or dummies.
tbh if I noticed this I'd probably download out of curiosity because zip has overhead, so 0 bytes ain't possible
