7zip - File Archiving

http://www.7-zip.org/

This one is first about 7zip. Its a basic File Archiver, and they even have their own format (.7z). The project is opensource so you can review the code and see what its doing. The interface is dirt simple and without clutter.

It supports more formats than most any archiver i have dealt with. and it also supports multi-threading, and you can select how many cores you want to use, and some very nice explorer contest menus as well.

I have been a big fan of WinRAR for a number of years, but this year 7zip with 32 and 64 bit versions has just made it irrelevant for me.
