This is what's achieved after one person bought WinRAR. Imagine the compression that can be achieved if we all bought a license!

    Eh, I hate that meme. Winrar was ass for ages. They had a very big and known security flaw they didn't bother doing anything about for a decade or more. 7zip is actually free, was secure all along, and it's capable of handling better compression.

    7z had its fair share of vulns. But they fixed them fast. My only gripe, is that there's no option for auto-update.

    No software is flawless, it just annoys me how much internet pirate kiddies dry hump winrar like it's some sacred and holy treasure. At least you use better software and were just using it for the meme recognition value.

    You done good. You can have a cookie. Not the tracking kind.

    I liked winrar, because it was the best. Then I found gzip, and it was the best. I've always disliked zip and xip formats. Once I discovered 7z, I never went back to anything else. Now I like winrar for the nostalgia, but there is no way it's going on my computer (and not only because I don't run windows).
