7-Zip / Discussion / Open Discussion: Worlds highest compression ratio with KGB 2

Nobody/Anonymous - 2006-12-30

KGB Archiver is the compression tool with an unbelievably high compression rate. One of the advantages of KGB Archiver is also AES-256 encryption which is used to encrypt the archives. This is one of the strongest encryptions known for human.

New features in version 2:

* PAQ1 - PAQ7 compression algorithms
* fast encryption algorithm
* file browser
* wipe file function (deletes files permanently from hard drive)
* unicode language support, both for user interface and file names
* and more!

See how easily KGB 2 beats 7-zip and all other competition!

  "Unbelievably high compression rate..."
  And what about memory usage and speed?

  >Worlds highest compression ratio with KGB 2
  
  This is a lie and you know it. KGB is based on the older PAQ6/PAQ7 engines, while PAQ8 has *much* better compression...

  Is that a joke?
  PAQ1 - PAQ5 are completely obsolete since PAQ6 was released (2004). PAQ6 is almost useless compared to PAQ8, and PAQ7 had a pair of bugs that caused poor compression ratio in some cases.

  This is only config-gui for PAQ. PAQ7 (!) Not PAQ8jc (more "faster" and better ratio).
  
  But, I am not the "Highlander". I cannot waiting for hours and days. Or/and 99.9% busy my PC for this time.
  
  This is interesting tech demo of one of the most powerful compressors. Not more. And, I am not see download link ;-) And2: Closed source with (l)gpl compressors. Ergo: stolen technology.

  This simple gui WOULD BE interesting to simple compare PAQ (8jc!) to lzma. Not more.
  
  Open source and 8jc interesting techdemo. "Like that is however not it". Well, its bad! And I do not thrust his internet connecting functions!! The name of the archiver is maybe more better choosed as we think (?!) I dont known. No sources!
  
  But, for us 7zip junkies: Full unicode support, Igor!
