suprised this wasn't up earlier

winrar is still better than this.

Well this compresses a 1.69mb file into 474kb compared to winrars 708kb.

do you need this program to also uncompress anything that was compressed by this program?

winRAR > all

If you want some, come get some.

eh i still use .ace

The best GotFrag? mod :) #lighthouse

7z is really good...

I don't know why people are posting that Winrar is better than this. 7z is almost guaranteed to compress more than a rar at any strength, and typically compresses/decompresses faster than Winrar when compressed using 'Fast'. Let's not forget that Winrar is also not free, not open source, does NOT support external plugins, and is NOT cross platform.

Also, 7-zip can be run standalone. Heres the link, very useful on a usb drive:

niQ`

Is this like winrar? o_O

BEEYAH!

lol #11, I remember that program used to be on all the macs at my high school. Everyone thought it was crap because it was on a mac. #8, who are you trying to impress? People are still going to have their own preferences regardless of whether it's better or not. If that were the case, everyone would be running redhat now.

I use alzip yo its like winzip but like krn yo

ishoutyo

#12 yes same kind of program

lol @ GF uploading useless crap :-P

no #4

So I'm guessing it's only useful for people who need to compress stuff, and if they really need to compress it that bad, then they should already know about this o_O?
