Aaron Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Well, if you're looking for the "Best compression utility" 7zip has one of the best compression methods around, far better than what WinRAR can do. But the most widely used compression tool around is probably WinRAR these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildKat Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 i still use pkzip... nah, winrar and winace are the only good ones ive come across Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeHawk Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 I used winACE for a long time but figured out that the good ol' winRAR still owns winACE has better compression, but has problems reading RAR-files... and a couple of other general errors...so everybody: KEEP THE BEST FILECOMPRESSER ALIVE! USE WINRAR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prathapml Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 winrar, because of its ability to create SFX files that can extract to defined paths (%programfiles%, %appdata%, etc.)winzip is out of contention for me, but it's amazing the way winrar's gained reputation - when I started using winrar 2.50 in 2000, it had no attraction for me except that it could repair zips and rars, and winzip was pretty good at ver7.0.

beeboy Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Lots of winrar lovers. Never used it myself. I've used Iceows, Bigspeedzipper, Izarc, and 7zip. Izarc is my fave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
