I have 7zip it has better compression ratios and tbh it works great

7zip does NOT 'work great' it sucks.

1) You can't extract from incomplete split archives - no way to get samples out of split sets.

This is a direct rseult of the unix pipe philosophy they use. It makes a single archive then pipes it to split vs. zip/winrar which make multiple archive files with their own headers and crc's.

2) The 'high compression' 700mb archives can take literally HOURS to extract.

This is tied to which compression method and which processor extensions your cpu supports.

I get that ive just never seen a reason to actually buy or it or in this case get a bought program free, ive had the trial way over the 40 days and it still does exactly the same thing as the day i installed

While that may be...if you register it, you will no longer get that nag every time it starts up....so why not sign up for a free license?

I never open it. Always use the context menu. :D

But free is always good. Thanks for the news.

I can bypass the nag by using the context menu options. I'm probably going to end up getting that product key anyway though. (ahh...someone beat me to it.)

Other things I found out about the program on my computer:

WinRar opens faster if you select the last rar file in a multi file archive. (Make a large split archive of about 50 rar files.)

WinRar freezes the explorer window of the location you are extracting files to until the extraction process is complete. I found a work around for this.

I'm assuming that this behavior is either tied to the trail version or it only occurs on my computer, since they haven't fixed it in any versions since I don't remember when.

Who the hell make multiple archieves when they can just make ONE .rar file?

7zip and Tugzip really is excellent. I now use Tugzip. Does the job very well and is always free. no need to pay a penny at any time. And it can extract rar files. I tried and it works here.

everyone who transfers very large archives over the net and doesn't have a 10/100/1000 mbit connection.. that would include me.

once you transfer a large archive in one piece and get a crc failed error on the other side, you will know why.

oh, and thanks for the news :)

    • Hasleo Backup Suite Free 5.8.2.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      Hasleo Backup Suite Free 5.8.2.2 by Razvan Serea Hasleo Backup Suite Free is a free Windows backup and restore software, which embeds backup, restore and cloning features, it is designed for Windows operating system users and can be used on both Windows PCs and Servers. The backup and restore feature of Hasleo Backup Suite can help you back up and restore the Windows operating systems, disks, partitions and files (folders) to protect the security of your Windows operating system and personal data. The cloning feature of Hasleo Backup Suite can help you migrate Windows to another disk, or easily upgrade a disk to an SSD or a larger capacity disk. System Backup & Restore / Disk/Partition Backup & Restore Backup Windows operating system and boot-related partitions, including user settings, drivers and applications installed in these partitions, which ensures that you can quickly restore your Windows operating system once it crashes. Viruses, power failure, or other unknown reasons may cause data loss, so it is a good habit to regularly back up the drive that stores important files, you can at least recover lost files from the backup image files in the event of a disaster. System Clone / Disk Clone / Partition Clone Migrate the Windows operating system from one disk to another SSD or larger disk without reinstalling Windows, applications and drivers. Clone entire disk to another disk and ensure that the contents of the source disk and the destination disk are exactly the same. Clone a partition completely to the specified location on the current disk or another disk and ensure that the data will not be changed. File Backup & Restore Back up specified files(folders) instead of the entire drive to another location to protect your data, so you can quickly restore files(folders) from the backup image files when needed. Incremental/Differential/Full Backup Different backup modes are supported, you can flexibly choose data protection schemes, which can improve backup performance and save storage space while ensuring data security. Delta Restore Delta restore uses advanced delta detection technology to check the changed blocks on the destination drive and restore only the changed blocks, so it has a faster restore speed than the traditional full restore. Universal Restore This feature can help us restore the Windows operating system to computers with different hardware and ensure that Windows can work normally without any hardware compatibility issues. Hasleo Backup Suite 5.8.2.2 changelog: Improved creation of bootable media that supports the UEFI CA 2023 certificate Fixed an issue that caused system restore to fail Fixed an issue where file backup could not list drives under Windows ARM64 Fixed an issue that caused backup of MacOS files/folders shared via Samba to fail Fixed an issue that caused "Smart Backup" to not work properly Fixed other minor bugs Download: Hasleo Backup Suite 5.8.2.2 | 39.7 MB (Freeware) Links: Hasleo Backup Suite Website | Hasleo Backup Suite Guide | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      I looked into a few echo devices to find they were riddled with adverts over time. No thanks ill stick to my homeassistant, smart plugs, smart bulbs and cameras that don't cost me a monthly fee and are cheaper to buy. No adverts also.

      Putin or Farage had nothing to do with me voting out. I did so because I got fed up of the E.U telling us what we could and could not do. Fed up with our country being run by a load of unelected Europrats. We never joined the E.U in the first place.
