jalaffa Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 7-Zip is an open-source file archiver, that offers the highest compression ratio, using the new 7z format, which delivers compression results that are usually 30-50% better than standard ZIP. We tested it with a server log file, which compressed with ZIP had a file size of 18 mb and using 7-Zip was reduced to 8 Mb (results may vary, depending on file type). 7Zip supports 7z, ZIP, CAB, RAR, ARJ, GZIP, BZIP2, TAR, CPIO, RPM and DEB formats, so it can be used with all popular archive files. The program offers a basic file explorer interface and also integrates into the Windows right-click menu. It can be associated with any of the supported formats and also offers command/line support.Thanks to jasonliul for the update.Download Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rach Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 :lol: I wonder why you guys so concerned about RAR5 support. IMO top priority now is fixing every possible bugs exist and add more feature/capability on 7z format itself :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
