Mind blowing software!!!

733MB of what??

Different types of files have different compressibilities.

Well if it doing that first of all I am goin to compress softwares on my HDD...

But I don't believe it that it can do.....

Also the time taken for compression and De-compression is a major factor .... how good is it with that ... also I agree with Bad boy the we need to see which file was compressed ?

Well guys I am downloading it. Let me see how good it is.........

Well dude your software is not good or mindblowing. It just compressed my file of 21.7 MB to 21.2 MB

if this is mind blowing then try kgb you will be really get shoked


it can convert 733 mb to 1.6

@sre06

From where I vil get it

From where can i download kgb

You can download KGB Archiver from here

*kgbarchiver.sourceforge.net/

Aakash can you try KGB on the same file to see the difference in the compressed file size?

powerarchiver is shareware

Ok ok now i'm going to Use WinXp inbuilt Compression Utility, WinZip, WinRar, Kgp & Power Archive to test
i'll use 3 different format .exe files, .prn files, .jpg file
tommorrow u'll get the results
wait n watch

21.7 MB to 20.9 MB with normal compression in kgb format

21.7 MB to 21.2 MB with Maximum compression in zip format

Well Ashish So how good it is???????????????

Crap simply crap ..... If someone has the time then do a complete analysis of all these compression utilities against some known file types.

@ Aakash what file type did you try to compress ?

Dudes u can compare ".:~Power Archiver~:." with any compressor-WINZIP, WINRAR, KGB Compressor or whatever.
But You will see the difference.
And the interface and design of ".:~Power Archiver~:." is better than everyone.
Try it guys.
And by the way, I compressed an image file!!!
Enjoy!!

Nice find Niks. Trying it.

wel try KGB man , then you'll see the difference , but compression time also matters that's why WinRAR and 7Zip are the most viable options cos they achieve the maximum compression/performance ratio . i compressed a 4 GB image to 20 MB with KGB but what's the use when it took 2 days to do so .

Just downloaded and used it.
My thoughts:
I Dont think you have met KGB. Let me introduce you;
This is KGB. Its probably the most powerful archival tool. It can achive insane compression ratios [at the cost of system RAM though]. It can also keep your secrets safe by using advanced encryption techniques. KGB Archiver uses AES-256 encryption to encrypt archives. Its by far the safest crypt. on earth. To top it all its free and released under open source.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ps: Note: Somebody sells KGB Archiver on page *www.fairfrugal.com/packer/. please dont buy it from here. its a scam. KGB Archiver is FREE.

well aakash tried kgb and the results hav been posted .... doesnt look like kgb is the best (based on the results) .... please validate ur statements with proof

I'll stick with winrar. Its still the best out there.
Compression ratio depends upon file type. On some files with winrar I compressed a 100MB file to 1.2 Mb.
Now try compressing an mp3 file?
File won't compress much.

Well Niks pls Post Somethin New And Original
This Software Was Launched 1yr Before And It Is Just Upgrading
To Have Better Softwares Than It Then Visit
www.downlaod.com

here's one proof, that KGB gives faaaar more better results than WinZip, WinRAR...

My Experiment::
copied the Eight save files of GTA San Andreas (from GTA User files) to a new folder.
Then compressed the same folder with different utilities.

Size of the Folder (without compression)= 2.46MB

Result

Utility/Software----------------Size of Compressed folder

1->WinZip - _________________1.37MB
2->WinRAR-__________________1.21MB
3->KGB Archiever- ____________70.3 KB (under normal compreesion).


file format 'b file'

but u need a super computer to compress it

^^^^
Hmmmm I haven tried it but is it super slow ?

Its just that most people do not know how to use kgb well...sometime back i was amazed to find Msoffice available for ill**al download which had a size of 2MB... <- not wrong really the whole msoffice 2003 compressed to 2Mb n done using KGB....jus to check it i unzipped it using Kgb which took me 8Hours to obtain the full 300MB odd setup files..
All the above is totally true...i d downloaded the file from softbasket.tk

i think it all depends on type of file u r trying to download
for one type of files
say txt jpg exe or doc

i think matters time taken to compress & compression ratio

for all that i think still

WinRAR & WINZIP rocks

what u think guys?

can i know the configuration of ur "University computer"

What kinda compression algorithm can possibly shrink a 300 MB Office 2003 Setup to 2 MB :-O

Hey everyone . First of all it doens't take a supercomputer for compressing using KGB . & it is very useful for compressing all your critical data for a backup . In most normal cases WinRAR is more than enough mainly 'coz of its speed.
