WinRar is a good product, but 7z is good too.

Archer · 01-26-09, 11:27 AM

The best compression is of 7Zip's (.7z). Way better that .rar or .zip. But I use Winrar because .rar or .zip are mostly used. And also it's SFX (Self Extracting Archive) utility is better than the other ones. Now I am going to give 7zip a try.

But it requires huge memory, time and other resources to do that - not only to compress but also to uncompress.

I searched the net for Super Archiver after seeing that thread. But the results was the same thread. I think they changed name to KGB Archiver.

Found this while searching for which is better between 7z and KGB

Best archiver, even better than 7zip and UHARC » Raymond.CC Blog

The article is somewhat old.

7zip (.7z) decompression is supported in Winrar. But the process causes many problems (eg: missing files, data corruption etc). There is no other way but to use 7zip to decompress .7z archives.

does 7z provide password protection as strong as winrar ? i mean to say that winzip passwords were easy to break ... but winrar password protection was really gr8 ... i tried many hacking tips on the net to break winrar passwords but never had success ... where does 7z stands in this regard?

I've used winrar so many times wid 7zip file neva had a problem with corrupt files.

once thing i saw was that most of the time winrar does not show the progress bar for decompression properly.

IMO both winrar and 7zip are equally good s/w , the oly difference is that in winrar the dictionary size is a max of 4kb while it can be a lot bigger in 7zip. what this means is that normally u get the same/similar size copmpression in both of them, but sometimes the increased dict size in 7zip offers more compression.

Also check the comparison of various archivers on wiki :

i have dnlded games all with 7z compression.

not one time have i faced any problem of missing files or any oher sort of problems.moreover,for dnlding and uploading,i think 7z is the best as it can also be unpacked by winrar.

KGB Archiver is the compression tool with an unbelievably high compression rate. Unfortunately, in spite of 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 man.

KGB Archiver Has Now Released V2.2 And Still in It’s Beta Testing

Here are some of the new features in beta 2:

* Explorer shell extension
* Multilanguage support: Arabic, German, Greek, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Serbian, Spanish, Ukrainian - download language pack here
* Up to 8% faster compression/decompression
* Now SFX archives run on any Windows or under WINE on Linux

Click here to download

Please do not forget to post feedbacks.

Try the stable version. May be the error is only with beta. While you download, you can choose either of it. I have downloaded both.

just4kix · 05-26-09, 10:46 PM

Merged a few posts on the same topic ....

Stable version attached.

Archer · 06-13-09, 03:19 PM

I tried KGB Archiver and the result was...

Compression Details

● KGB Archiver version: 2.2 beta
● File Used: Uncompressed Flash Professional CS3 installation files
● Original file size: 465 MB (uncompressed)
● Compression Level: Maximum
● Time remaining (didn't finish) in normal mode: More than 10 hours
● Time remaining/taken in safe mode: Less than 3 hours
● File Size after compression: Near 100 MB

System Config

● RAM: 1 GB

It took almost the same amount of time to decompress too.

just4kix · 06-13-09, 06:41 PM

So overall I think that this software is a waste of space. I mean it promises a lot but demands a lot too.

2.4 GB compressed to just 100 + MB is a good conversion. Please update the final size.

imrock · 07-03-09, 01:17 PM

the final result has not arrived yet

but at 47% it is 950MB!

Try Dr. DivX, it can also give a good compression and is more popular.

imrock · 07-03-09, 01:36 PM

sorry
i want to compress with this only

now it says 9042 hrs for extreme compression!
