Default Re: RAR File Format

Yeah, I noticed it was becoming popular, so I got WinRAR back in my Windows days. And I'm pretty sure I have one for Linux. My question is why. I used it to archive some MPEG's, then some JPEG's and it did only 1% compression, no better than Winzip really.

Do people like the splitting ability, the advanced repair ability, or does everyone just hate the zip format now that Microsoft started bundling it with XP?
