Blows my mind that anyone still uses WinRAR when 7zip exists.

[–] JewGoblin@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (13 children)

doesn't WinRAR do certain things that 7zip doesn't?

I can't think of what 7zip lacks, but I know it does lack some features

The reason WinRAR was useful to me allllllll those years ago was for one thing and one thing only: You could split an archive into chunks. So mostly I found that it was good for getting my warez in 1.44MB chunks.

Anon: hey Krudler, do you have a cracked copy of GTA3

Krudler: say no more, friend

Sends 350 floppy disks with the cracked game
