jalaffa Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 <img src="/images/logos/7-Zip.png" class="logo" alt="7-Zip" title="7-Zip" />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 <font color="red">anuraag</font> for the update.<a href="http://www.nsanedown.com/?request=503910" target="_blank">Download</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted September 8, 2010 Administrator Share Posted September 8, 2010 Not much changes this time. :think:LZMA2 does beat RAR in compression in most of my tests, in fact, all of them. Also I don't like WinRAR extracting all the files (to temp folder) when I only try to extract a single file. But still have to make WinRAR as the main archive software otherwise there would be no archive tab in properties of the files. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
