Compression

No other place I seen to post this. Whats the best format of file compression?

>I know .rar is better then .zip

>But is there some other format thats even better? If so what format is it or better yet a link to the program would be nice

I think Rar > Both

Torrent isnt compression.
Torrent is just a file that points and tells the torrent program where to download the files from.

.rar > everything
and Koreans is right about the torrent. :]

.tar.gz kthx

.rar is the most widely used.

Honestly
WinRar.

7z.. by 7zip xD

WinRar can handle zip and rar and others.

Yes .rar is good and widely used, but I'm sure theres one better and I'm not going to be sharing the files so yeah. . .

.rar is ftw .

In soviet russia everything is better
