The fastest installing software in the world

[-] lea@feddit.de 31 points 1 year ago

You know they have full trust in their project when their own installer is using 7zip to install 7zip.

Better, faster, doesn't ask for money, installs in a moment.

On Windows you should use Nanazip

winget install -e --id M2Team.NanaZip

What are the benefits over 7zip?

That's the spirit! :)

Two online services with server costs vs offline decompression software

Please stop making me defend the corporations I beg

I paid for WinRAR 15 years ago because I'm not a freeloader.

Whenever I come across a .rar I think, what are the life decisions that led to someone to package this way?

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Would you prefer an *.LZW?

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

I’d rather a tarball because it’s fun to say

[-] thepaperpilot@beehaw.org 18 points 1 year ago

I wonder how memes about WinRAR still get made. Besides everyone mentioning 7zip is better in every thread, windows explorer has been able to unzip things for ages now. Who is still using WinRAR?

Winrar in 2023 is wild

The moment I left Windows I left it behind but it was/is a very nice program.

I've searched for it and it's free and open source, you can always compile from source https://peazip.github.io/

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 year ago

Debian delivers a very good compressed file support as is. I'm good.

But I still recommend it for those friends/acquaintances that still use Windows. It is so user friendly.

it's what people use who haven't heard of PeaZip or 7Zip.

[-] jackalope@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

At this point using winrar tells me the person is kinda old and out of touch with tech.

[-] yetAnotherUser@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

It's a compression and decompression program. If you've ever heard of the ZIP file format, then this program basically opens and creates ZIP files (and other files in similar formats, such as RAR).

[-] JPSound@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I'd pay for WinRAR before I gave either of those companies my money.

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago

time to download a crack for winrar on kazaa

[-] SeabassDan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I got mine off limewire, and it came with a free zip file to test it out.

Considerate of them to make it 65kb to not take up too much space.

[-] BlackPenguins@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Same with sublime text. "We'll only bug you every 50 saves about buying a license."

I can live with that.

And Emby media server. "Once in a while we'll have a 10 second delay to start the movie."
