Kudos to Igor for this great tool! 7-Zip is the archiver of choice for me (and it's not because we don't have many free alternatives :)
The 64-bit version is not working very flawlessly with Wintdows 7 64-bit. Other than that,4/5.
To remedy the ugly looks of both the program and the icons, try this: http://killercookie-server.media-xshell.com/7zTM/
the best file archive utility ever. i just wish they would implement zipx faster so i can remove winzip.
Everything what we need in a little application. Without an spezial theme of some shit.
Only that, what we need. Freedom :D
Much better than WinRAR or any other file archive utility, hands down.
Great program, all of it's features allowed me to remove WinRAR. It will extract from multi-part RAR files. You just need to right click on the first .RAR file and tell it to extract. It will automatically extract through the rest. For a free alternative I can't find a better solution.
