What archiver should we use to make highly compressed archives?
There are numerous free file archivers available on the net today. Certainly most of them are not capable to compress files highly as we expect usually. But I am mentioning here the names of three quality high compression enabled archiver and I hope these archivers will change your file compression experience that you have gained before. Those are…
1. 7-Zip 4.65 or higher
2. WinUHA 2.0 or higher
3. KGB Archiver 2.0.0.2 or higher
Many can mention WinRar or WinZip but remember it, both of them are not free software at all. For testing I have made an archive of a 3,458 KB sized MySql database file “something.sql” with those three archiver one after another and have got the following result…
Examined file name is “something.sql” and size is 3,458 KB.

Now you can take decision with the help of this short statistics, which one you should use and what suits you perfect. I personally use KGB Archiver. Though it takes much time to compress big files but it can save your valuable disk space, especially if you are a webmaster and upload file archives on websites for your visitors. It can also save your visitor’s bandwidth and time if they want to download anything from your website.
