This not only lets you compress truly gigantic files up to 16 billion gigabytes, according to its developers , but also has an incredibly high compression rate. However, this does mean making speed sacrifices; 7z can use 'solid compression' to achieve tiny file sizes, but it can be very, very slow.
Thankfully, if you venture into Options within the program, you'll find that it's easy enough to get rid of the options you don't need. The look of this file compression software won't be to everyone's taste, but if you can get past this, you have a rock-steady and reliable utility on your hands. It might not be the first name that comes to mind when you think of file compression software, but Zip Archiver has a very healthy following thanks to its thoughtfully designed interface, excellent format support, and because it offers all this for free.
What makes this program interesting is its incredible ease of use. Even someone who is unfamiliar with the idea of file compression and decompression should find it easy to achieve the results they want.
Creating and extracting archives to one of a range of formats is reduced to a simple drag and drop process, and there's cloud support as a handy extra. What this means is that you can, in one quick and easy operation, create a compressed file, upload it to Dropbox, OneDrive, or Google Drive, and have a shareable link created automatically.
If you're compressing files to share them, this is a brilliant option. If you're not a fan of the drag-and-drop interface, you can use the Windows context menu to take care of everything — the choice is yours. There are dozens of compressed file formats, but Zip Archiver can handle them all. The only drawback is that Zip Archiver is only available for Windows. Another free compression program, PeaZip for Windows and Linux is simple looking but surprisingly powerful, and offers plenty of security options.
In addition to regular compression and decompression options, you can also use PeaZip to convert archives between formats. For the security conscious, this file compression software also offers AESbased encryption and two-factor authentication , as well as a password manager.
As with the other compression tools in this roundup, you can make use of the main program interface, or fall back in love with the right mouse button and use the context menu. PeaZip is one compression tool that can, sort of, create — as well as extract — RAR files. Mason sounds positively forlorn. Outright theft wears poorly on them, though the blazing horns at the end make up for it somewhat.
The Betas' hippie-speak can go beyond charming to, you know, hippie-ish. But "Simple" buffered a particularly lonely two-month stretch in my life, and though it skirts banality, a chorus of "the trouble with your own thing is you end up on your own" is both deeply affecting and a metaphor for the entire Beta Band project.
If live discs are the definition of "for fans only," then a live disc included with a best-of is the definition of pointlessness. Yet live was clearly where the Betas gave everyone what they wanted. People could sing along together to "Dry the Rain".
A melodramatic song like "It's Not Too Beautiful" could be extended past the breaking point. On record, the Hot Shots II songs can often provoke a response like the one I heard from a co-worker: "Wow, I haven't heard trip-hop in forever.
Baker" becomes a cruising rock track. Maybe he just needs a little time to regroup-- get his head together in the country, as it were. If the Betas promise to release another record, we can promise to afford them the respect they deserve. Even if it's just that vaguely apocryphal second disc of mountaintop THC jamz that was supposed to be appended to The Beta Band.
