RAR VS zpaq

I downloaded Winrar a couple months ago before switching to 7zip, I was reviewing my apps on my windows PC but im scared and confused now, did I download fake Winrar? there's been the Google Ad link problem going recently so I wanted to ask, I downloaded my winrar through here https://www.win-rar.com/start.html?&L=0 They've been telling me that win-rar.com is fake and I might have some spyware now, I ran a little...

Win-rar.com and rarlab.com are the official sites. I downloaded winrar from win-rar.com and rarlab.com and both of them are not viruses. Source: over 2 years ago

I used to download winrar from rarlab.com but there is another site which is win-rar.com. This question is only for winrar. Don't recommend other archivers in the comments please, Thank you. Source: over 2 years ago

Yesterday I recently factory reset my PC and when I got most of my programs back I was going to download WinRAR from win-rar.com but when I download WinRAR I scan it with VirusTotal and it detects 2 trojans. Is it a false positive or was I using my PC with 2 trojans before? Source: over 2 years ago

Hi, I'm setting up my new pc after a few years and it confuses me that the top result on google search, win-rar.com, serves files that turn out to be different from the ones from rarlab.com even with the same release numbers and file size. Which of these is the actual official website? Some people recommended to get 7zip instead but I prefer WinRAR's friendlier UI. Source: over 2 years ago

I will assume that the average effective broadband connection is about 20 MB/s, and both xz and zstd decompressions are faster than the download under this assumption. But there are lesser known compression algorithms that are more efficient in terms of compression ratio for this target decompression speed, like zpaq [1], which are rarely considered as alternatives. So multiple factors exist here and I believe... - Source: Hacker News / 21 days ago

My best bet is some data corrupted when plugging into windows. If it still works in windows I strongly recommend you backup important data on your drive. You can use 7z to compress, or zpaq which can achieve incredible compression rate in some cases. Source: 10 months ago

Yes, you can find more information on how it works on the zpaq's author website http://mattmahoney.net/dc/zpaq.html. Source: over 1 year ago

There was a recent essay about the use of the QOI format for software/game assets. They're somewhat bigger than PNGs; however, I discovered that they compress really good with ZPAQ. Source: over 1 year ago

But when you need high compression rates, why not use something more innovative? ZPAQ is amazing - Journaling archiver for incremental backups There are plugins for total commander to ease managing, or gui linked at Matt Mahoney's page It offers better compression ratio than both Winrar and 7-Zip, for even more RAM and time to compress. The amazing part is not wasting energy and storage space for the same... Source: over 1 year ago
