Archiving with WinRAR and 7-Zip

If you have any questions or requests for tutorials, post a comment or pm me.

Winrar (for XP)

7-zip (32 bit for XP)
downloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzip/7z457.exe


Additional Information:

When selecting your split size in WinRAR, use MB for megabytes, KB for Kilobytes and B for bytes, so it would look like this 100MB, 100KB or 100B;
In 7-Zip when selecting the split size M is for Megabytes, K is for Kilobytes and B is for bytes, so it would look like 100M, 100K or 100B

is 7-zip like winrar beacause im downloading Midnight Club la remix for psp and there is winrar and 7-zip i did 7-zip so will it pop up like a zip file and you have to extract basiccly i am asking what do i do after i downloaded it

[exosploit]

You open it with either 7zip or winrar, select all the files, and extract them.

7zip basically does the same thing as winrar, only 7zip is completely free.

7 zip is the best, besides its open source

[exosploit]

Yes, it's my favorite as well.

Does 7Zip support RAR Parts? Like .part1.rar files? Thanks!

[exosploit]

It will open split rar archives and you can make split zip archives.

@MrBeN2O archives create copies.. so you can delete the original files and delete the other... then extract the files from the archive when you want them :)

[MrBeN2O]

can you delete the original files once they have been archived? in other words, does archiving create a copy of the original files?

You don't need to reinstall WinRaR. :P

I've had it for over a year, and have not bought it. :)

There was one of the earlier versions of winrar that was completely free. I can't remember which though.
