The present invention is a method of sending compressed data includes providing a plurality of M compressing devices, each compressing device configured to apply a lossless compression algorithm and dividing uncompressed data into a first plurality of sequential segments S of uncompressed data. Each segment Si of a first N sequential segments of uncompressed data, for i=1 to N, where M >N, is applied to a respective compressing device CDi, and N respective compressed blocks Bi, each block Bi having a respective characteristic transmission time BlockDurationi.
