Wesmosis Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 hey guyzKGB Archiver is the compression tool with unbelievable high compression rate. It surpasses even such efficient compression tool like 7zip and UHARC in terms of the abilities. Unfortunately although its powerful compression rate, it has high hardware requirements (I recommend processor with 1,5GHz clock and 256MB of RAM as an essential minimum). One of the advantages of KGB Archiver is also AES-256 encryption which is used to encrypt the archives. This is one of the strongest encryptions known for human.these dayz, I've heard and read alot about this proggy which can compress a 450 mbs to 1.5 mbs! is that possible?.........anyone can confirm this thingyI've found the Microsoft 2006 on 1.5 mbs, what is the heck is goin' on fellasis it another April Joke or what, somebodies assure the thing, others deny itwhat MSFN.org fans think?

eidenk Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 these dayz, I've heard and read alot about this proggy which can compress a 450 mbs to 1.5 mbs!Well you can obtain that type of compression ratio with 7-Zip already. 101 Meg down to 245 kb. No joke.The trick is solid archive mode and a large number of very similar files, in this case, 1860 Filter Factory plugins for Photoshop compatible applications.This said, it is claimed that KGB is slightly more performant than 7-Zip but I haven't tried it as it only runs on 2000/XP/2003.

Wesmosis Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 (edited) but I haven't tried it as it only runs on 2000/XP/2003.then what are you using? Windown 3.1 !thanx Ryan for that post Edited March 5, 2006 by Wesmosis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eidenk Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 KGB doesn't support 9x like more and more apps now.Not too many fortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisO Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Don't believe the hype!!The reason KGB needs so much CPU & RAM is because it's using a large dictionary and word size by default. If you want to achieve the same compression (and CPU & RAM requirements) simply set your Word Size and Dictionary Size larger in your 7-Zip settings.
