TotalAnarchy I stopped using 7Zip because it started giving me too many errors on working archives. I have WinRar preinstalled with my Windows copy so whatever.

Phreeze_lu besides, 7z zips better, but i don't like the ugly interface, which reminds me of windows 95 ... so far i remain with winrar. don't care about the few seconds or mb we live in 2012 hehe

I thought I let evedryone know that 7-zip is freeware and Winrar is shareware which is $29.95 to register.
Hummm. I got WinRar on my system since about what, 10 years? Never paid a dime for it.

I would never pay something for such a tool which should be common to all computers either. There is many other free options.

I took what I had on FTP and sent that to the downloadable section.
It just happened to be a Rar file.

If it's gonna be 7z next time, on the FTP, I'll use that.

Japo WinRAR can't create 7z either, only open. So they're symmetric.

What I don't know is if some updaters are uploading 7z and others rar... Sticking to a single format (besides legacy zip) would be best, in my opinion.

The Fifth Horseman Both can open each other's format. 7-Zip can't create new RARs and that's all.
