View Single Post - Question about RAR, ZIP, and 7-Zip

Hey I was wondering if anyone knows what the compression rates are for .rar, .zip, and .7z files. Also, does anyone know of a free archiver? From what I understand, .7z and .rar both have fairly equally high compression rates, but are slower than .zip. I would prefer higher compression over speed any day though. Thanks for the help!
