7z compresses the best, but sucks.

PKzip compresses secound best, and works very good.

Then winrar whitch i recommend, but dosent compress as much as pkzip and 7z.

WinAce compresses better than WinRar. Works just a little bit slower, but it cuz of the good compression. I always use WinAce to compress games and stuff.

Yup, uharc is the best. I compressed 2 gigs of stuff into about 708 mb, just big enough to do an overburn.

Damn, I&#39;m guessing it takes a long time to extract the files also. :unsure:

Na, takes maybe 20 minutes to extract. Though it took forever to compress...
