What's the best? WinZIP or WinRAR?

[admin1]

I use winrar and i’ve changed the default setting to compress to zip file.

The great thing with winrar is that you can split the file into small separate files and it helps with uploading into ftp sites etc. If one fails you don’t have to start all over again.

This helps alot when you have to download or uplate gigs of data from customer db

A good suggestion. But it has a downside. When you use compression to ZIP, then it also only uses the ZIP methods, which means that my test file FDB of 150 MB was only compressed to 32MB whereas it was 16MB in the RAR format.
