Compression that will make your eyes burn

[DarkLeftos]

Just a note on something that could be quite useful for all users and gamers. Not many of you know about the UHARC compression algorithm, but having read about it in a random page, I've decided to try it. And let me just say... whoa! I did a test on compressing the whole Football Manager 2006 folder (which is about 700MBs) and so far after processing 550MBs, the compressed file is just about 150MBs. And that is with just the "normal" version of the algorithm and a quite small dictionary size, 4MBs. Try it with the "best" version of the algorithm and with a bigger dictionary, and let me tell you that you won't return to the other compression algorithms again.

Don't believe me? Why don't you try it for yourselves?

By the way, WinUHA and UHARC are both free, and the WinUHA package is just 1.5mbs.

lol, you just now discover UHARC? :P It is specially nice what it can do with media files such as video/audio when compressing :)

Personally, I still like the console version, GUI is nice, but so used to console, been using it for years.

is it freeware or shareware or do you have to bhuy it ? i wonna have it !!! :p
found it and oh i dont think were talking about the same thing

And here is a compression guide for those who don't understand how to make the most of it.
