I perfer 7Z, since most other programs don't open 7z files. Free in everyway, doesn't even bother you to register anything, however, it's UI lacks a little, but everything is fully function. Opens just about every format there is, including Zip, RAR and TAR. :Plight:

Isn't 7Z the one that compresses to 1/7th the size?

Yeah but what if other noobs try to play those demos and find out that it is a zipped file they can't unzip? This topic is sutible for them so they don't spam up other topics asking where they can go to to find a unzipper... wait this just defeats the purpose... there can't be links to freeware or can there? I have averege knowledge of computers. I just wasn't familiar with this file type. Now I know and I became much wiser.
