KGB Archiver is not your regular file compressing software. It makes all
the difference in the world, size wise, because it can create the
smallest archive files. This is due to the fact that its compression
rate is great, almost unique in its program category. This tiny and
seemingly plain software is extremely powerful and it could easily
surpass other products of its kinds. Archives can be made in either KGB
or ZIP formats and compression level can be set from minimum to maximum
with a lot of options in between them. You can secure them by assigning a
password, no matter which compression level you choose. The large files
will take a lot more time to compress. Obviously the KGB archiver is
more powerful but it also takes long time for maximum compressions
levels.
During the compression, KGB Archiver shows the progress, together with
the current size versus the projected size and the remaining time. This
information is also available in a little window that pops up if you
move your mouse over the program icon in the system tray. KGB Archiver
also places shortcuts in the Explorer context menu but you can make that
disappear from the options window of the programs. In conclusion, KGB
Archiver is willing to cut down the archives size but at the price of a
long waiting time for a very huge files. Considering tools that it can
drastically make a difference, the costs are also not that high.
