Boris Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 One advantage over WinRar is that it is Open Source = free :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeRuston Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I'm not sure which is better, 7-Zip or WinRAR. Both programs are great :) They both support around the same amount of files too I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
