Tutorial Needed

[vivekrm007]

Pl.Help I Dont how KGB archiver 1.2.1.24 is zip 100 mb file to 2 mb.....
Pl.give tutorial of it......How it works...

Thanxxxxx

[Pathik]

its crap.. Works only wit recurring bloat data.. Forget it

[khattam_]

^^^yes.... Just forget the KGB arch.. its just a waste of time....

[koolbluez]

Takes hellotta time to compress to that size.. dude.

Forget it. Try WinRAR. Period.

[thewisecrab]

take my word USE WINRAR.............

[Pathik]

even WINRAR doesnt hav such a high compression ratio....
wat r u suggesting ??

[..:: Free Radical ::..]

Only works with certain files with repetitive binary info as in text files. Mostly, kgbarchiver is a hoax but it does achieve a higger compression ratio than other archivers like winrar.
However it has low efficiency, i.e. needs exhorbitant amounts of ram and cpu which average computers don't have (perhaps if you own a supercomputer).
Even UHARC can achieve some good compression (i once compressed a 124mb file folder to 8mb. Took 2 days. Does not always work. Waste of time. I still have the file.)

There is this dream of the infinite compression algorithm with a rotating dictionary :D
Someday it might be possible. But not today.

My advice, wait for the big boys to make something better. Till then use 7zip for compression and Uniextract for extraction.

WinRar is the most optimum sw I saw so far. Has always been good. UHARC is good compression-wise.
But if u want the best compression, u've to wait for a longggggg..... really lonnnnngggggg time. It's better to get optimum compression within small time, than max compression for exponentially longer time!!! The de-compression time too'll be reallllyyyyyyyy looonnnnnngggggggg.

Forget these compressors. Use WinRAR.

High-compression ratio chaahiye? Then.. try compressing a 700mb Digit Games CD to max in UHARC or KGB. Wait.... keep waitin... a lil bit longer.... yah.. it's take some more time........
Tell me how much time it'll take on ur machine? Think what'll happen on 1-2GHz processors!!!

7z (http://www.7-zip.org/) me likey :)

aah sorry for this .. googled here and then unknowingly bumped an old thread :P
