2 edits | [POLL] Compresssion Utilities - 2008 Member Choice Poll What is a file archiver?
said by Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia :
A file archiver is a computer program that combines a number of files together into one archive file, or a series of archive files, for easier transportation or storage. Many file archivers use lossless data compression in order to reduce the archive's size.
With that definition out of the way, let us explore our users favorite File Archiver.
This list tries to include all operating systems. If your choice is not on the list, please let us know below and please include a link to the program.

1 edit | At home, I use WinRAR. Mainly it is used to extract archives
I've downloaded, but I also use it to create archives as
well. On my system, in its fastest mode, it can compress
a standard DVD5 in around 10 minutes. Of course the
tradeoff is less compression.
At work, I use both the Windows standard zip utility on
one machine, and WinZip on another.
