yep!

mostly videos - compressed on standard settings, not high compression or anything...
470MB to 340MB
not bad!


where do you set it to high?

There is a button called "Options" or "Settings" on the initial GUI when you open the app. It has a GUI with various settings.

I actually zip a lot of PS files and music. Tested all the ones mentioned. These are my results.

Mp3 Cd Unzipped 77.3MB 192Kbs

WInRAR - Best - 64MB - 13secs
WinZIP - Best - 63.9MB - 3secs
WinUHA - BestALZ3 - 63.7MB 1.33min
KGB Arch - uber bullsh#t - on normal it said remaing time 23min and estimated compression ratio 82% which is higher than the others. On best it said estimated time 52min and 79% compression ration. No No No, bs.


PS CS4 file Unzipped 11.9MB

WinRAR - Best - 6.62MB - 2sec
WinZIP - Best 7.98MB - 1sec
WinUHA - Best - 4.74mb - 13sec

Im a bit to lazy to zip a Game folder. But I think if the time is there, WinUHA will do the best job. Seriously guys, KGBArch is really some on its own. Maybe a KGB Agent knows how to use that :D

Edit: I remember once downloading a Game (700MB) it was packed with UHarc. It took over an hour to unpack and the size was over 2.5GB. That was some Dos version of Uharc. The extracting happned in Dos.
