Re: Hentai Finder (The thread!)
Just came across this group: Imagination Scenery

Their art is pretty nice. They have a couple doujin works of popular (?) series like FF7 and dragon quest.
Most of the CG sets are available on exhentai but I am looking for the original products (the FF7 one, for example, is an application that has character stands and lossless images while all of the sets on exhentai are lossy jpeg's)
I'm also looking for this one in particular which isn't on exhentai: ttp://www.dlsite.com/maniax/work/=/product_id/RJ045257.html

While the chances are not very likely to happen accidentally (Though still possible). Different sized file sizes can be compressed to the exact same values in an archive. This would require that the compression algorithms and efficiencies would have to be chosen to reach the same final archive size.
For example, using winrar, which offers the choice between several compression options, e.g. best, normal, and fastest, I can take the same file and create two archives of different file sizes if I compress one at best and the other at fastest. The simple document I compressed from 14.2kb to two separate archives of 11.5kb (best) and 11.7kb (fastest).
Now this could be done in reverse, taking two different file sizes and compression both to a single archive size. While this may be difficult using winrar's predefined compression settings, it is still possible, though it would require a lot of trial and error. If they use a more advanced compression software that creates archives in .rar or .zip formats they may have an easier time.
Hopefully that answers your question. And sorry if it's a bit long.
ah, you're right. I should have been more specific.
It isn't really possible to compress two completely different files and result in the same binary data.
I imagine even if someone were to write a unique algorithm specific to each file in order to achieve the exact same output as the output of another algorithm, it would be almost impossible to achieve two seemingly identical files from two completely different set of data.
But who knows...maybe if they do some extra bit-masking and stuff it could happen.
