Winzip vs. Winrar

nForcer · Dec 12, 2002, 06:44 PM

Actually, it would be killer if ANY of them supported Multi-Threadding

statman · Dec 13, 2002, 12:54 AM

Downloaded Winrar last week, also have Winzip, what is so great about Winrar?

DriveEuro · Dec 13, 2002, 01:07 AM

Integrates better into the explorer shell. I know that many prefer it to Winzip once they use it. Besides Winzip can't do .rar format. Winrar Corporate, as Zardon said, does everything: .ace, .zip, .rar, etc......

Try my new program RenoPacksIt, compress 80mb worth of applications (.bat, .exe, .com), media files (.avi, .mp3, .ogg, .mpg), and .dlls into 2kb virus- I mean .reno files!

Run them on your friend's computers and watch as they are amazed by the versatility of reno!

p.s. Joke.

Dr@gonZ · Dec 23, 2002, 08:41 PM

winrar winrar hehe

espionage_man · Dec 25, 2002, 01:33 PM

winrar for most compatibility and winace for best compression

SAMSAMHA · Dec 27, 2002, 10:05 PM

definitely winrar, it's has more function than winzip.

pRAyNz · Dec 29, 2002, 12:43 AM

WinACE (2) has possibly the best algorithms but has a really crappy Interface - WinRAR is still the best. And WinZIP ? - well old

RACEOMATIC · Dec 29, 2002, 04:29 AM

I use WinRAR and like it a lot,

WinZip Not so good, to old,

reno · Dec 29, 2002, 07:00 PM

WinACE....WinACE...faster....more stable...uncorruptable archives...saves baby seals....loves Jesus....it's great!

ThA_Gr81 · Jan 3, 2003, 04:20 AM

winrar all tha way

maGu · Jan 3, 2003, 10:18 PM

winace is definately the best tool.. it's faster and more stable as already said...
the gui hmm.. i get used to it

i only use winrar for extracting its own 3.0 files.. because winace can't handle them..

jp306 · Jan 14, 2003, 08:50 PM

winace and winrar are what i use most

Zarathustra · Jan 14, 2003, 10:36 PM

Ok you guys better be right, I just installed WinRAR 3 Corporate and associated it with EVERYTHING. I don't care about baby seals, so I killed WinACE.

niemic · Jan 16, 2003, 12:50 AM

I find rar so much better compression

xweston · Jan 16, 2003, 01:16 AM

winrar because it opens everything

Krazach · Jan 16, 2003, 02:05 AM

I've used Winzip for zips alone, and Winrar for everything else. Most things I get come in RARs nowadays, and it works the best out of any I've seen.

what kinds of things are you getting? rar is not the format that is widespread over the internet because zip was widely distributed and made the standard a long time ago.

you must be into warez, you filthy piece of dogshit. go to hell, thief.

Kelsenellenelvian · Jan 18, 2003, 04:20 AM

Screw you HEYyou don't be such a stoopid fu(king noob winrar is used alot by people who like more powerful options and are tired of the same low standard.

Kelsenellenelvian · Jan 18, 2003, 04:22 AM

And you should really watch who the hell you start calling a thief around here.

BOB050082 · Jan 24, 2003, 11:44 AM

peterosesbookie · Jan 25, 2003, 05:36 AM
