Mercifull Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Why bother cracking stuff when theres free legal alternatives? pfft try 7zip edit: after the trial all you get is a nag screen telling you to buy it before you can compress/uncompress a file, it doesnt actually stop working.

____ Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Just for the sake of testing 7zip vs winRAR on my own file set, I used My Recived Files. 141MB of pure random file types and quantities of. With both using their best compression... 7zip: 88,360KB winRAR: 88, 518KB *shrug* I'll stick with my more easy accessable and widely supported archiver.

weezcake Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 WinRAR just gives you an annoying message after the trial is over. You don't even have to wait for it to disappear or anything; you just click "close", and you can use the program :) ==================================Retired tip.it moderator.Teaching and inspiring.
