7Zip
is an open-source file archiver, that offers a the highest compression
ratio, using the new f 7z format, which delivers compression results
that are usually 30-50% better than standard ZIP. We tested it with a
server log file, which compressed with ZIP had a file size of 18 mb and
using 7-Zip was reduced to 8 mb (results may vary, depending on file
type).
In
addition, 7Zip also supports 7z, ZIP, CAB, RAR, ARJ, GZIP, BZIP2, TAR,
CPIO, RPM and DEB formats, so it can be used with all popular archive
files as well. The program offers a basic file explorer interface and
also integrates into the Windows right-click menu.
You
can associate 7zip with any of the supported formats and also offers
command-line support. Interface and additional features are fairly
basic, but the compression ratio is outstanding.
