some file archiver reviews.
in this post i will provide you with the file archivers i have used and with a review on each one.
so here we go lets start :p
winrar [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
My rating: 4 out of 10.
Features: ability to make rar archives and split them, add password protection.
My review: all in all I would say it is pretty good. but there are multiple drawbacks: it is illegal to use after the trial, harder to change compression type and rate. (to make small files.)
Would I recommend this: No I Would not.
