Well, if you're looking for the "Best compression utility" 7zip has one of the best compression methods around, far better than what WinRAR can do. But the most widely used compression tool around is probably WinRAR these days smile.gif

I used winACE for a long time but figured out that the good ol' winRAR still owns woot.gif

winACE has better compression, but has problems reading RAR-files... and a couple of other general errors...

so everybody: KEEP THE BEST FILECOMPRESSER ALIVE! USE WINRAR!
