I downloaded this and the compression ratio is significantly better than other compression utilities.
My vote was going to go to winrar, but 7zip is pretty amazing.

Also don't go for winzip, it's under featured and can't unzip many common compressed files, actually I took a look at winzip's website and the number of files it can't uncompress is ridiculous. Apart from that it cost money unless you want the demo version. And 7zip even compresses .zip files (the files winzip uses) better than winzip does.

So, go for 7zip.

Been using Winzip since 1995 so my vote will go to it... Winrar is good, but Winzip will always be my choice... [img]smile.gif[/img]

UltimateZip is really nice too. It has a prompt to upgrade to pro everytime you open it but you can zip and unzip stuff with your right mouse button menu so you bypass it.
