I recently switched to WinRAR. Works perfectly to me.

i uses powerarchiver... very cool... and it also support 7-zip format, both compress and extract...

Winrar for me. Mainly beacuse it supports many formats.

Can you please not post your replies in between the BBCode quote format?

Its not just me!

(Yay)

Yep, I agreed with you on another post and even stated reasons as to why it is rather annoying.

i agree...

Try IZarc: It's free, supports many formats (except it doesn't encode into RAR, nothing but WinRAR does that though...)...all in all a good program:

I use WinRAR religiously

Can't seem to pull the trigger on Power Archiver because , well , it costs $20.00.
I'm a tight wad when it comes to money . This would be my second choice though.....

Never came across this one in my search for the ultimate zip compressor...I'll have a Look-See , thanks for posting the URL...

Sorry....................

Sorry..............OOPS......9081549285413139133981jxbasdw;kbclaca...

May I ask what zip program you had before "Winrar" and Why did you switch?

I will try not to trample on the Godly Plane Again ..........Sorry....

Please list "other post" , you are talking about ?

i didnt buy it... my is still under shareware... as for why i like it... i not sure either...
why not you ask others why they use winrar...? winrar is also a shareware...

2 advantages of Wirar are to me , 1.1MB download (small) , Able to compress and uncompress RAR files....Also , interface looks good.
I am stuck with "Just ZipIt" can only zip & unzip zip files using Deflate64 for lrge files and I am currently thinking about "Zip Genius" also free but 5.98MB , bit large for a Compression Program........Bloat...........Thanks for the post though...

S'aight, but now you know why some people may not have answered.


WinAce.

i have not try winrar before... maybe i should give it a try...

I used Winrar to shrink an ISO from 550MB to 500MB. 50MB off is a lot when doing a file transfer over a cable network to someone one DSL.

Again , Sorry , I must have got a little anxious and fat fingered when I posted.

At present I am testing Zip Genius but I will give Winrar a shot.Sounds good from what Tarun says.

indeed... winrar is good... try it!

Tried it and I'm going to pull the trigger on it. Excellent Program.

Might want to look at Zgenius again-It's only 1.65mb. The rest that you refer to is a password manager and file transfer.

Yep , but I already made the commitment(sp) to WINRAR.
Besides the interface is a little more straight-forward. Being the tightwad I am I would give Z Genius another go-round but I think WINRAR would be better in the long-run.
Thanx for the input though....

i just download and try 7zip... very nice program... faster and light...

I use WinRAR myself and I love it.

Just for the H*** of it I will purchase Winrar and have 7-Zip also , since it is free .
In case 7-Zip comes up with something Spectacular in their beta version.

Well , Looks like this topic is dead in the water , Hey ?

Long live Winrar and 7-Zip.....

I use winrar.

I was going with 7-Zip but most of the guys here seem to value Winrar, (value their opinions) which I gave Winrar a second look and agreed that the cost for a single license weighs out in the long run , So I chose Winrar.
The resources are low and it supports decompressing 7z anyway and the interface was friendly and looks good. Seems to be stable , all around excellent program.

However 7-Zip is also small on the resources but interface is not as good as Winrar and doesn't compress rar. I will keep an eye on this open source zip compressor when the beta-version is finished . This also is an excellent zip compressor.

Question is I don't really want or need two compression programs.
