WinRAR :
"WinRAR" is the world's No.1 most popular compression tool. Compress files with ease, increase storage space, reduce email attachment size and make data transfers faster.About WinRAR :
Have you seen a file with the extension .rar, .zip, .7zip, .gzip and wondered what it was? Have you ever wondered what compressing or decompressing computer files actually does? Well here's a little explanation. Compression of computer files is no secret and it's been around for many years. It's a way to gather many files together, convert them all into the one single file and squeeze out any unnecessary space. Depending on what file type you're trying to compress, your overall file size can reduce dramatically. When you require files contained within a single compressed file, you simply use a program such as WinRAR to extract all files. The extracted files remain unharmed and ready to use as normal.File archivers and compressors were orginally designed to overcome storage space limitations, but with technology signficantly advancing in larger storage capacity PC’s as well as hard drive space becoming cheaper, compression software has had to diversify somewhat. Such software is now commonly used purely for archiving reasons, however the compression and decompresson functions are definitely still very convenient if your PC storage is limited or even sending reduced sized emails. What’s more, it’s often simpler to operate with a lone archived entity rather than with hundreds or even thousands of individual files. This can also help with data recovery should you run into problems with your PC.
So why would you want to compress files? File compression has many uses. Sending emails with large attachments can result in the sender or the receiver not being able to download or even read the email. Often, email servers have a file size limit too. Using a file compressing program such as WinRAR can help this problem. A series of files equating to 10Mb, could even be reduced to as little as 4Mb, depending on the file format.
Faster computers can also result from using programs such as WinRAR. There's many factors that contribute to the speed of your PC. One of the little known facts is that the storage capacity of your computer also has an impact on how fast it processes. In other words, the more space you have, the better. Compressing large quantities of unused files is a great way to save space and store your files. What's more, you can also compress large quantities of non-frequently used files and store them on an external hard drive or DVD for later use.
Information About WinRAR 5.00
"WinRAR 5 (32 Bit and 64 Bit)" is a powerful archive manager. It can backup your data and reduce the size of email attachments, decompress RAR, ZIP and other files downloaded from Internet and create new archives in RAR and ZIP file format. Changes in RAR compression RAR general compression algorithm is optimized for better utilization of several processor cores. While some speed gain is possible even in single processor mode, best results are achieved in multi-core environment. Speed gain depends on data type and average file size. Several cores are utilized more efficiently when compressing large files.WINRAR 5.00 32 Bit had to increase memory requirements to achieve higher compression speed. General RAR compression algorithm allocates about 120 MB comparing to 40 MB in WINRAR 4.
WINRAR 5.00 64 Bit text compression algorithm cannot utilize several CPU cores efficiently, so its performance in multiprocessor environment is much lower than for general algorithm. Also its decompression speed is much lower than in general algorithm regardless of CPU number. So we decided to disable the text algorithm by default. If you need maximum possible compression ratio for plain text data regardless of speed, you can enable the text compression in "Advanced compression parameter " dialog. Press "Compression" button on "Advanced" page of archiving dialog to access it. You can also change this option permanently in default compression profile; In the command line mode the text compression can be enabled with much switch.
"Fastest" (-m1) compression mode also supports several processor cores now. In 4.11 it could use only a single processor core. WINRAR 5.00 Beta 4 x64 general decompression algorithm speed is slightly improved,though not same extent as RAR compression. RAR decompression is not able to use several processor cores, so its performance does not depend on a number of cores. Changes in ZIP compression: now ZIP compression supports several processor cores resulting in noticeably higher performance in multi-core environment. Single CPU ZIP compression is also faster than in 4.11; Memory use for ZIP compression is increased to about 15 MB.
Recovery volume creating and processing can use several CPU cores resulting in higher speed. Though, typically hard drive seek speed is a limiting factor for recovery volumes, so this gain is most noticeable when working with solid state drive. Now the allowed value for -mt switch is 1 - 32, not 0 - 16 as before. "Find files"command can search data in 7-Zip archives. Previously "Find files" did not support .7z archive format. Windows 2000 is not supported by "WINRAR 5.00" and WINRAR 5.00 x86 self-extracting modules anymore.
"Save current settings" button in "Advanced SFX options" dialog is now available only when converting an existing archive to SFX. Options saved with this button are applied only to convert to SFX operation.
If you create or update SFX archive, only SFX options stored in default compression profile are used. Options saved in "Advanced SFX options"dialog are ignored for these operations.
Benefits:
File space is an essential part of the Windows operating system. A lack of space can significantly reduce performance. WinRAR helps to reduce excessive file sizes and save space, which can help to improve the speed of your computer.How to install :
