Qarl Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I have to cast my vote for IZArc. :) I've used it for quite some time now and never had any problems and it packs/unpacks more file types than anything I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primexx Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I highly recommend against TuneUp Utilities to anyone who doesnt want their computer settings messed up, or want full control over your settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpsgc Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 TUGZip has too many bugs :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimy Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 ^ I haven't see any yet... and I've been using it for quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeL_dAmAgE Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 TUGzip is an amazing software, I've been using it for god knows how long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpsgc Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 It doesn't support password protected RAR archives, and doesn't properly extract archives in folders with non-English characters in its name. As for the rest I don't know since they didn't affect me. But the general consensus on many websites is that TUGZip still has too many bugs, and I for one agree (the author himself concurs).

Slimy Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 ^ Thanks for the info, but those are pretty specific bugs. However, until I find free software that can do .rar, .iso and many other archives as fast as Tugzip, I won't be changing. I haven't personally had problems with it, and I expect that v4 will be much better as they have been working on it for quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think it'll be able to open password protected RAR archives anytime soon :no: :( For that matter I have to use 7-zip or ZipGenius.

Slimy Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 Well if noone's interested, then I won't, but I was thinking it would be clearer and easier to manage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpsgc Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 HTML list eh? Hmm... I guess that'll be beneficial :shiftyninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimy Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 Thanks for the feedback guys, I will probably make the html version a side-project for this summer. The reason it will be available so late is that I am very busy nowadays, with school and all. However, I will continue on with the updates! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Reaper Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Slimy, got a comment on some of your reviews. 7-Zip now has support for .iso files so you can update that. And Registry First Aid doesn't adds itself to the startup if you purchase it. I have it and it's a pretty damn good program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slimy Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 Thanks for the feedback guys. I will try to update the whole thread again in a while, school is starting to kick in again.
