Which Compression format do u use
Which compression method is the best and which one do u use?
I use rar and zip frequently.
For large files i use uharc. KGB archiver has better compression but unlike uharc it consumes a lot of time. So based on the compression ratio / time factor, i think uharc is better
What are ur favs
