firefox FireFox add on to Preview the contents of Compressed File before downloading itIt often happens that the content inside the zip file we download is something that we do not want. As a result, we need to discard the downloaded file and repent for the time spent on downloading it. Now if you do not want to waste time downloading an undesired zip file, you can use the ArchView FireFox add-on.


ArchView opens archive file online without downloading the whole archive. It then produces a webpage where you can preview the contents of the archive file. ArchView is very fast since it merely fetches a small portion of the archive file from the server. ArchView, as of now, supports RAR, ZIP formats and ISO CD image; HTTP, FTP and file: protocols.
