[edit] Compression efficiency

FreeArc compression is more efficient than the older LZW (.Z), Deflate (.zip and .gz) or bzip2 compression algorithms. [2]

[edit] Algorithm

FreeArc Includes LZMA, PPMD, TrueAudio and GRzip algorithms with automatic switching by file type, also it uses set of filters.

[edit] Features

  • Solid compression with smart updates
  • AES/Blowfish/Twofish/Serpent encryption
  • FAR and Total Commander plugins
  • Ability to create SFX (self-extracted) archives and installers
  • Archive protection and recovery, including recovery over Internet

Like RAR and ZIP it is an archiver. It is not just a data compressor like gzip or bzip2.
