:blah: Is WinRar better than Winzip, for extracting zip files form the internet? If not, what is a better program for working with .zip files?

Winrar is the most you'll ever need. I have a slightly outdated version, but I also have a trial crack for it.

I use winrar as well. Thats all you need. Winzip is crap, if you want a GOOD zip-only program, get pkunzip.

WinRar. There's also WinAce, which has all the capabilities of WinRar, except you can make .ace files but not .rar files. WinRAR let's use make .rar files but not .ace files.

I use WinZip. I just don't like WinRAR because it can go to the whole hard drive. And its easier to get the full version of it.
