Zip Program Recommendation

+81 · 08-07-2009, 03:55 PM

Can anyone recommend a free zip program that isn't just a trial version? I just want something for compressing/decompressing zip folders.

Just get Winrar, its a trial but you dont have to upgrade

ToeAndno's right, Winrar is the way to go. It'll continue to tell you that the trial will expire, but it never does so it's always free. It also will extract RAR files for you.

I use 7Zip but to be honest it's just as good as WinRAR

Win is in the name of winRAR, because that's exactly what it does.
OP: Just go with it.

Thanks everyone. I'll definitely get Winrar. Maybe I'll check out 7-zip too to compare since Antonio loves it so much.

well it's just that i've had plenty of Zip programs, including Winrar, and 7Zip is the best that i've had. but yeah, that's just my opinion, trying both would be best, hehe.
