^^ kgb works..
as in it CAN compress and decompress to levels that winrar cant..
when the thread greenie is pointing to was created.. i jus thought i'd test it out.
compared the compression of a folder full of pdf's using zip rar and kgb.
with max compression settings, winrar reduced a 450mb folder to 440 in zipped format & 430 mb in rar format..
kgb on the other hand took like 2.5hrs to compress(and later on, an equivalent amount of time to decompress).. BUT... BUT..
the kgb'd file was just 310mb.
now that might not seem like a very high level of compression all by itself, but when seen in the perspective of results from zip and rar.. its phenomenal.
it does come at the cost of immense time though. rig in sig was used to do all testing.
i am not trying to say that the so called 1mb GTA rip and the 800kb COD2 rips are real and WILL work. i have no idea about that. however i can assure you that kgb DOES have phenomenal compressing capabilities.
