   The software has received awards, In 2007, SourceForge granted it community choice awards for "Technical Design" and for "Best Project". [42] In 2013, Tom's Hardware conducted a compression speed test comparing 7-ZIP, MagicRAR, WinRAR , WinZip; they concluded that 7-ZIP beat out all the others with regards to compression speed, ratio, and size ...

3. Comparison of file archivers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_archivers

   The operating systems the archivers can run on without emulation or compatibility layer. Ubuntu's own GUI Archive manager, for example, can open and create many archive formats (including Rar archives) even to the extent of splitting into parts and encryption and ability to be read by the native program.

4. List of freeware - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_freeware

   Freeware is in contrast to commercial software, which is typically sold for profit, but might be distributed for a business or commercial purpose in the aim to expand the marketshare of a "premium" product. Popular examples of closed-source freeware include Adobe Reader, Free Studio and Skype.

5. UPX - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UPX

   UPX (since 2.90 beta) can use LZMA on most platforms; however, this is disabled by default for 16-bit due to slow decompression speed on older computers (use --lzma to force it on). Starting with version 3.91, UPX also supports 64-Bit (x64) PE files on the Windows platform. [7] This feature is currently declared as experimental.

6. bzip2 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bzip2

   bzip2 is a free and open-source file compression program that uses the Burrows–Wheeler algorithm.It only compresses single files and is not a file archiver.It relies on separate external utilities such as tar for tasks such as handling multiple files, and other tools for encryption, and archive splitting.

7. FreeArc - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeArc

   FreeArc uses LZMA, prediction by partial matching, TrueAudio, Tornado and GRzip [7] algorithms with automatic switching by file type. Additionally, it uses filters to further improve compression, including REP (finds repetitions at separations up to 1gb), DICT (dictionary replacements for text), DELTA (improves compression of tables in binary data), BCJ (executables preproccesor) and LZP ...

8. Executable compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable_compression

   Software distributors use executable compression for a variety of reasons, primarily to reduce the secondary storage requirements of their software; as executable compressors are specifically designed to compress executable code, they often achieve better compression ratio than standard data compression facilities such as gzip, zip or bzip2 [citation needed].

9. Zip bomb - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip_bomb

   In computing, a zip bomb, also known as a decompression bomb or zip of death (ZOD), is a malicious archive file designed to crash or render useless the program or system reading it. The older the system or program, the less likely it is that the zip bomb will be detected.
