How long does it take to download 60 megabytes on 56k dialup connection?

How long does it take to download 60 megabyte file on a 56k dialup conncection?

Zip Files/ Downloading compressed files/ How much time does it really save downloading?

If a file is 60 Megabytes in size (which takes over 3 hours to download on a Dialup connection) So I wanted to know, if the same 60 megabyte file was compressed and zipped, how much faster would it download on dialup? Would it be like twice as fast downloading for example or how much?
actually I think it takes about 6 hours on dialup

What’s a good program to convert JPEG files to a smaller size?

I have a really good digital camera so I’ve taken a bunch of high resolution pictures that are six megabytes each. I want to drastically reduce the resolution so they’re less than a hundred kilobytes each. That way I can email them to people who still have dialup internet accss. I don’t want to manually do each picture at a time. I want to batch convert a whole bunch of files without babysitting the program. I have a fast computer and plenty of hard drive space so resources are no problem for me. It would be nice if it was freeware or shareware. Please tell me what software you like and post to link to where I can read about it. A download link (legal of course) would be nice too.
