WinRAR or WinZIP

[Sohail]

WinRAR can unzip and unrar though can't it..? I'm not sure because i use Mac which comes with this Stuffit Expander application and can extract loads of file types...

I have 7zip but If I were to choose I would go with winrar. I'm a fan of free opensource programs

I mainly use 7-zip but on rare occasion, when the person receiving my file doesn't have it or want it:nuts:, I use WinZIP.

I use Izarc, it works well for all the applications I need it for, I like that it is good at all the formats.

7zip is way better because it can do whatever everything else can do and its free!

 

[FalseHope]

Maybe it could, but this is a topic on WinRAR and WinZIP!
I would go with WinZIP.

WINRAR, as it will open zip files as well as .tar / . pkg etc.
most popular formats

WinRAR. I've never needed to do something that WinRAR couldn't do, and since I usually use the context menu I don't even have to see the pop-up that tells me to buy it.

WinRAR because it can extract rar, tar, gzip, tar.gz files. But unfortunately, it cannot do the vice versa. If you want to compress a file/folder with a different format, use 7-zip.

Izarc can also encrypt and decrypt all of those formats and its free as well.

I've been using PeaZip lately, like 7zip it's open source, there's a quick comparison of extractors on download.com: http://www.download.com/8301-2007_4-9832605-12.html?tag=blog.1

Neither of the 2
7-zip is undoubtedly the best

[BorderLineSigs]

WINRAR =DDDDDDDDDDDD W00t

 

[pratho]

WinRAR is pretty good

I use WinRar, a really powerful software which allow you many things. In the past i used AlZip, a really awesome software.

 

[Pi606]

I have both 7-zip and WinRAR.

 

[DeadBattery]

No need if you have a Mac. That's why macs are awesome. No need to install all this software.
:biggrin:

Personally I prefer PowerArchiver. It's free and it's powerful. What more could you want?

I've been using WinRAR for ages now, and I still enjoy it. It's fast, powerful and the compression ratio outdoes that of WinZIP.
