7-Zip

Just downloaded and compared it with WinRAR which is probably the most common and widely used archiving tool. I used a 34 MB .pdf file for the test and zipped it with maximum compression. Archiving was OK and zipped archive from 7-Zip was even a few Bytes smaller than that from WinRAR. User interface is simple - I would say spartan :), but I like this. 7-Zip is even available in my mother tongue - Slovak. And it is a freeware - so no annoying messages like when you want to use WinRAR after 40 days of trial and you don't have money to buy it. The only significant defeciency might be the fact that you cannot make .rar archives, you can only unpack these.

Very nice product, I love it. Works pretty well

Great replacement of ZIP or RAR. Nearly perfect except the interface uneasy to understand by debutant in IT. (Really ugly indeed :) Good to archive, small backup or mail attachment. "Must have" on Windows Desktop.

Excellent product which has yet to let me down.

The best archiver i've ever known. No bugs, pretty fast, just sometimes a uncompression which fails.

It can be a great opponent to WinRar! Excellent Utility! :-)

Why doesn't this utility get 5 stars? What else can people want it to do? Or maybe they are trying to promote some other utility?

The best thing since Tar.

Thank for this awesome project. I don't need to buy winrara to unrar the file then i like to user 7z because it reduce more effective than winrar

Excellent project! Reccommend everybody. Thanks!)))+1

Thanks very good project! +

Thanks very good project! +

gerat work! I uesed this software for many years!

Sevenzip is excellent! Thanks.

Nice, thank you

No program, than safer and better and never will. Thanks

A most excellent program for Windows. I like the fact that the native .7z format is faster to decrypt than encrypt, but most of all the support for all the other archive types.

Most amazing compression and un-compression program available.

Thanks for software and updates.

I have an archive that I share with others. I periodically make changes to the source files that have been archived, so I need to update the archive with these changed files. 7-Zip seems to lack this most fundamental feature of a file archiving program - The ability to simply update the archive contents with source files that have changed or added to the directories present in the archive, since the time the archive was originally created. This feature is found in every other Zip like archive program I've ever used. But if it's part of 7-Zip, they've gone out of their way to hide it.

Nice work ! Great project.

Very good
