Message: <blockquote data-quote="Anusha" data-source="post: 741049" data-attributes="member: 828">7-zip is the fastest compression tool I have come across. Ironically, it does a better job with Zip rather than the native 7z format. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/lol.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="LOL    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /> Also it is one of the two native 64bit compression tools available (AFAIK); the other one being Squeez. But Squeez is nowhere near 7-zip's speed. I wish they made it more user friendly and easy to use as WinRAR. 64bit helps to improve 7-zip's performance up to 80%. Even in 32bit mode, it is still faster than WinRAR's compress/decompress performance.One problem is that 7-zip has trouble extracting split RAR files that I download most of the times via torrents, using the context menu entry (it doesn't show up <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/sad.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":(" title="Sad    :(" data-shortname=":(" />). So I have to keep WinRAR for those. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/sad.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":(" title="Sad    :(" data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
