where to get amazing file compressor?

ok i did another test
i used the 4 biggest .files in my office 2003 folder

winword.exe (12,037,688 bytes)
excel.exe (10,073,144 bytes)
fpeditax.dll (6,600,256 bytes)
frontpg.exe (4,425,272 bytes)

.CAB (13,219,941 bytes)
.RAR (13,403,861 bytes) ,solid
.ACE (13,519,624 bytes) ,solid , 4megs dictionary
.7zip (11,444,156 bytes) ,solid, 256meg dict, PPMd

winner: .7zip
but u will need at least 256 mb of RAM to unpack it LOL

added: results will vary depending on the coding of file u are pressing
so dont take results to heart TOO much

altho i have never seen .RAR beat .CAB yet

WinRAR in any case.

Uhrc or whatever its called, thats what rip scene groups use to compact stuff like Simpsons Hit And Run from 1.2Gb down to 126mb.

i thought scene groups use rars?
rar might not be able to defeat cab in terms of compression (a tight competition if referring to Fiber's test), but i think in terms of decompression speed rar still wins.

Yes scene groups use rar, scene rip groups use Uhrc (Sp), these are the groups that rip say the music then privide the games for 56k and slow net users. They are usually 50mb-300mb and extracted to anywhere between 700mb-2gb.

try using 7zip, LZMA, solid, dict. 12MB, word 255. it'll be even smaller ;)

7zip is free too
and im sure it owns IZArc (i will test it now)

go do a test
http://www.7-zip.org/

IZArc is good
but its a rip off of 7zip (just an unconfigurable version)
and has usless compressions

i think UHARC is the shit. but the GUI mite b a problem
