My sincere excuses, I didn't knew that the search function was only accessible for non-new members, I stand corrected.

Indeed, and I always advise to use 7Zip to people that seems to have problems with archives, no need to convince me of the usefulness of that nice soft.
But for the rest, nothing has changed indeed, RAR and ZIP are still the standard, not 7Zip, and the n00bs have already enough trouble with the ZIP/RAR standard.
And if you want to use another archiver depending the compressing ratio you'll end up with 20 (now yeah, a bit exaggerated ...) different formats, because one archive is not another (as you probably know already), depending what has to be compressed different algorithms used gives different results. 7Zip doesn't always win the match.
Anyway, to cut the blah blah and other crap short: even if I really like 7Zip, to host archives it isn't the standard. Period.
Maybe a tip to end: as you seems to like 7Zip a lot (as am I) maybe yuou could write a piece about it for ABTimes ( I'm too lazy, as usual).
Now it's 31/12/2009 22:20 here, time to hit the road and get some action to end this ol'year.
See ya folks, if I ever get sober again (doubtful).
