More about Hamster Free Zip Archiver

The software has multi-core support and a new interface that increases user comfort. Zip Archiver is fully integrated with your operating system and will be a favorite for everyday use at home and in the office. Use it every time you need to archive something and see how much extra time you have to work on other tasks.

Features

In fact, you can archive files and download them to your phone or countless other devices because the file format is very flexible. That said, you'll be able to do the same with the default tools that come with Windows. This can make the program completely unnecessary for some users who are not as familiar with its advanced features.

Pros:

  • Looks great and works great.
  • Smooth and doesn't require much RAM.
  • Easy to learn and navigate.
  • Can view your files/archives.

However, if space is a premium, Hamster Free Zip Archiver can really shine, compressing files much deeper than you would get them otherwise. Archived archives created with Hamster can be up to 25 percent smaller than archives compressed with Windows' own tools. Admittedly, you'll need to adjust some configuration settings to figure this out, but it shouldn't be too difficult.

Users can choose how tightly they want their files packed by simply moving the slider forward and backward. Stronger compression levels are slower, of course, but they can really reduce the number of bytes in large groups of files. This feature will especially appeal to gamers.

Binary executables, which include ROMs for most 8- and 16-bit emulators, will be compressed to a much smaller size than most other file types. Text documents and RTF objects will also shrink slightly, making it easier to store their huge groups in a single archive that you can move to a backup drive.

Developers will love Hamster, too. If you write your own games or run a database utility, you can work with EAR and WAR files. These are just zip documents with a different extension. The program gives you the ability to configure which extension you prefer for your output files, which should make it easier to create the right type of Java archives to work with. Those who want to protect their files can even set a password for them, which allows them to prevent unauthorized extraction.

Web users who often download unusual archives from the Internet themselves will appreciate how flexible Hamster can be. You can, of course, pack both the original ZIP archive format and as many ZIPX files as you want. If you work on the Internet with other people using Hamster, you'll find that ZIPX archives transfer faster on social networks than the original ZIP archives.
