KGB Archiver a data compression tool..

KGB Archiver is a file archiver and data compression utility based on the PAQ6 compression algorithm.

Written in Microsoft Visual C++ by Tomasz Pawlak, KGB Archiver is designed to achieve a very high compression ratio. As a consequence, the program is relatively memory and CPU intensive.

KGB Archiver is free and open source software released under the terms of the GNU General Public License. Version 2 beta 2 is available for Microsoft Windows.KGB Archiver is one of the few applications that works with the PAQ algorithm for making its KGB files.It has ten levels of compression, from very weak to maximum, a greater variety than that found in most other compression software. However, at higher compression levels, the time required to compress a file increases significantly.

System requirements:

The minimum system requirements for running KGB Archiver are:

• 256 MB RAM
• 1.5 GHz processor

Features:

• Compression ratio is better than other than WinRAR,7zip etc.
• Supports native .kgb files and .zip files.
• AES-256 encryption.
• It is able to create self-extracting archives.
• Unicode is supported in both the user interface and file systems.
• Multilanguage support (including Arabic, German, Greek, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Serbian, Spanish, and Ukrainian).
• An Explorer shell extension is available for the Windows versions.

Disadvantage:

• Both compression and decompression takes longer time than any other related software.
• Use maximum memory of your PC that makes your PC slow.
