Table compression (zip, rar, 7z)

I was not sure where to post this, but feel free to move this post if necessary.

Just tested different compression software's. One example is the latest LOTR, zipped it's 21,7 MB.
When compressed with winrar, it's 19,4 MB and when compressed with 7z it's 18,1 MB.

And the point is that 7z overall compresses best, so I would recommend using 7z instead of zip, it would take less time to upload and download, it's a win win situation since 7z is free.

I hope this make sense, because my English is not that good Razz

TunK77 it makes sense .. problem is, everybody is using Winzip/WinRaR as compression/decompression tools.

7z is indeed much better (not only on the compression ratio).

Yes, I thought of that. zip-files seems to be the most popular compression technique. I was thinking that JPG-Pins could offer 7z in their downloads instead of zip. And since winrar and winzip can extract 7z archives, there won't be a problem, so please consider it JP and Groni (it you guys read this).
