    You've got something installed that's protecting you from something that might be dangerous. This is not, but it is a RAR file that you might nay be able to de-compress. Let me know.

For all your decompression needs, you can't do better than 7-Zip....

Moreover, the 7-Zip's "own" format, 7z, often compresses even somewhat better than RAR.

Yeah, but .7z (lzma) is also a fast compression method

Sorry, I posted it accidentally...

    What I wanted to say is that there is hardly any need for .rar, and you should pretty much only use .zip (universal and good enough), and .7z.
    Though if you are backing things up on Linux or doing something else in Linux, bz2 is an excellent format. As it compresses and decompresses really fast, and has good compression.

Yes, there is virtually no use for rar, except for that some people like to use it.

    And bzip2 compresses just one file. But in combination with tar, it is very good.

    The main reason I like it so much is because it's one of the veeeeery few formats that can store Linux permissions, mtime, ctime and atime ... and all that stuff. With the rest, you can be glad if it stores date of creation.

One file! Didn't notice it when I use the tar command, hehe.

    And yeah, better use a compression format specifically for Unix file-systems when on Linux (so using the tar command, with the supported compression methods).

    And you can also use SquashFS, which allows you to mount the file-system, so you don't have to strain your disk with extracting the files.

    I even have some of my good old games in sfs files, which actually speeds up the loading when using a modern processor.
    Though you have to link-out the save-files.
    Let's see... Lords2.sfs (55MB)... extracted: 107MB!
    So almost half the space... as it uses .WAV files for sound, which is very inefficient.

    Anyway, good that you pointed out the file-attribute problem!

Yeah, tar does it for you.

    Ramillies writes:

    bz2, gz and xz compress well, but only one file. tar doesn't compress at all, but it can archive multiple files with all the attributes. Combine them together and you've got very useful compression method for multiple files

    SquashFS is also very good, that is true.

The replies to my last post weren't addressing your problem.

    Have you tried a different browser? The common one are Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari, and Opera. Do you have more than one installed? If not, we'll find another solution.
