Has anyone tried the Super Archiver (attached). It can really compress files .. and when I say "really compress" it is means way-way really compress. I tried compressing the entire GTA San Andreas installable and it compressed to 64 KB!!!

Don't take my word for it - try it yourself.

Downside? Uncompressing takes quite a while to finish.

Cool application
Thanks

just4kix · 04-29-08, 02:47 PM

And attached is the GTA San Andreas game.

Important Note:

1. Rename this file from .zip to .kgb
2. Use the Super Archiver to unarchive

gardencityboy · 04-29-08, 05:39 PM

This is just great

How can an application compress 640 MB in 64 kb?

i still cant believe it

I just downloaded a 640 MB game is seconds

How about ppl start compressing movies and uploading using KGB format

bijan33 · 05-24-08, 10:59 AM

is it real?

(EDIT)HOLY CRAP! is it just downloading from the net?
(EDIT 2)KINNDA USELESS 12323 hours to uncompress

cool consept.

Dont know what sort of machine you tried this on but mine says 6 hours something ... You need a couple of gb's more RAM to speed this up I guess..

Sorry just4kix I had to remove that attachment unfortunately.

Thanks for sharing this cool application.

No problem. I knew it was illegal anyway. Just wanted to demonstrate the power.

bijan33 · 05-24-08, 08:43 PM

sdsidgnn · 06-11-08, 10:48 PM

first, it doesnt work
second, it has a virus
third, there is no gta san instable attached
forth, such a thing can never be created, search google why
fifth, Winrar is currentyl the normal user's super archiver

Normally, I would not reply to such idiotic posts but some serious charges have been leveled against me (especially the CAPS part). So my answers:

1. It does work. The program is very resource intensive and you need a Core2 Duo processor + min 1 GB RAM for this. Even then it will be very slow as might be expected.
2. It does not have a virus. I had it checked. Maybe there is something at your end.
3. GTA-SA was attached but later removed as per forum policy. A few people did download it before it was removed.
4 & 5. This has been created and it works. I have tested it myself.

FINALLY, I do not flood the forum with stupid mails - ask any one on this forum who has been here for a while. If you choose to be close minded then that is your outlook.

bijan33 · 06-13-08, 11:46 PM

Dude there is no virus
It works
it needs a good computer
SO STOP ACTING LIKE AN ASS
exuse my langige

wannabe · 09-12-08, 02:15 PM

you need a super fast PC and it takes forever to compress those big files that smalll

01-24-09, 09:51 PM

which data compression software is the best of the lot ?

1) winzip
2) winrar
3) 7z

or any other suggestions are also welcome?

just4kix · 01-24-09, 10:31 PM

WinZip and WinRAR result in more or less similar compression ratio. I had posted quite a while ago, a compressor called, Super Archiver (do a forum search). It can compress a lot, and when I mean compress, really compress - it compressed the full GTA-Vice City game to 64 KB!!!

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

yes i also heard abt such kinda compression ... infact have a 1mb file which is supposed to be entire windows vista dvd ... i never used it though

nilact · 01-24-09, 10:50 PM

Hi,

WinZip and WinRaR are good ones, but 7Z provides maximum compression but it would require good amount of time as well as resources..so if you can afford both of this then you can use it.

ag_prasun · 01-24-09, 10:58 PM

7z is the best free compression software available.compression is also affectes by the no of files.race driver grid, that had around 4000 files was compressed from 8gbto just 1gb..

powerdoc · 01-24-09, 11:13 PM

Winrar besides giving decent compression is good because it supports a lot of file formats & if time-efficient in compression.The additional features like repairing etc are also useful.

cool_techie_tvm · 01-24-09, 11:24 PM

I have heard 7z provides the best compression in the lot. Also KGB Archiver is also one of such softwares worth pondering about.

Harshytkage · 01-25-09, 04:36 AM

7z KGB and Uharc are all bygnone standards of the industry, right now it's ....ohh i think i forgot the name....anyways, winrar and zip dont come annuwhere near the ratio's these archivers pull off!
