rar was the format for compressing pirated games and roms

why wasn't it called arr instead then
>>
Because if you use it then a winrar is you
>>
I love it when I don't even know what fucking language it is but I still understand what is written
>>
.rar was essential for splitting/combining multi-part files like when burning large folders to CD/DVDs or dealing with internet file hosts with max size limits
>>
>>108737053
WInRAR is still better and worth paying for. 7zip suffers from the age old: "Freetards can't into user interfaces."

basically most of it is traced back to the piracy scene after those lovable old scener faggots allowed rar compression for distributing files on pc , as zip sucks.

I don't want another UI, I want a clean shell integration.

>>108737172
really depends on what your compression needs are. in my experience of archiving things, 7zip gave me a better compression ratio, depending on settings, but usually savings were not that much more than rar but that really depended on the kind of data being compressed.
