7-Zip is a file archiver with the high compression ratio. The program supports 7z, ZIP, CAB, RAR, ARJ, LZH, CHM, GZIP, BZIP2, Z, TAR, CPIO, RPM and DEB formats. Compression ratio in the new 7z format is 30-50% better than ratio in ZIP format.
- It's possible to specify Diff program in options (7-Zip File Manager)
- Some bugs were fixed

I had trouble with the program when trying to extract a small program I had previously archived program using encryption ... it would freeze or go into some internal looping after prompting for the password. This was after opening the compressed file and trying to drag-and-drop the contents to my desktop and then being prompted for a password ... doesn't seem to support drag-and-drop on a password encrypted contents. Otherwise I like 7-Zip because of its simplicity and ease of use without creating a humongous program. Also, I like that I can drag-and-drop and what I am dragging drops exactly where I wanted it.

5/5 - for the best compression ratio, but need some improvement in multimedia side ;p

The best use yet I've found is that gmail accepted a 7zip'd attachment and refused the same file in rar format.

Very good and useful application,especially when it uses its native format of compression. Supported well with useful updates. Excellent.
