Then it means we need real good computer for it

[planetcall]

best you use winrar. If you want an alternative go for 7Zip which is a great free opensource utility. :) hope that helps

Yes, I just downloaded KGB Archiver. It requires about 500 MB of RAM in it's maximum compression mode. Compression and decompression both take a lot of time. But best results are achieved.

UHARC compression

^^
I have heard about UHARC, but I think it is only a command line version. The GUI version is still under development.

[nishant_nms]

For me it is WinRAR

[casanova]

Even I prefer WinRAR.
