Is there Freeware similar to WinZip? or download without WinZip?

Hi everyone

Please advice.

... I think there is something wrong with my WinZip again for no apparent reason.

So could anyone advice me if there is Freeware out there similar to WinZip?

Or is there a way to download programme without having to use Winzip?

Cheers

Azn_Tweaker & Brent ... aheemmm ! errmm ... that's not free ...

 

Google Power Archiver 6.1. It's freeware and still available at certain places on the net. (No, not *those* places!)

 

I just keep hitting ok when it says my 30 day trial is up :shrugs:

 

JimIT

I only managed to find Power Archiver v8.6 ...

Is this a good product? What do you use?

Power Archiver 6.1

No, I don't use this, but rather an OLD version of Quarterdeck's Zip-it.

 

dangitall & everyone

How about ZipItFast ?

Chew

P/s: thanks for the link dangitall ...

 

dangitall

I tried that link ... apparently ... after downloading it I tried to install it but windows said the file is corrupted and did not install.

So any more ideas?

Please advice.

Chew
P/s: I just uninstall WinZip ... hmmm ...

 

Try Izark from: http://www.mrbass.org/freeware/izarc/
It is free and works great.

 

Power Archiver 6.1

Try this one, Chew. I just installed it from here, and will play with it over the next few days - although I don't do much with ZIP files anymore!

 

You absolutley can get power achiver 6.1 here

 

Another option (freeware): 7-Zip.

Thank you everyone.

Yeess! I finally downloaded PowerArchiver 6.1.

But I have a problem ... when I try to Zip and UnZip latest Ad-aware SE definition ...

All I get was the old one that was out on 09.08.2004.

The latest just release is I think 10.08.2004 ... but when I went to Lavasoft website ... I couldn't even get a zip file. Just ref. file. But when I went to the link on the update provided by UntouchableJ on WSF ... I managed to get a Zip file ... but when I view the Zip file ... it was the old one.

So is the Power Archiver 6.1 not functioning?

Advice please. Thanks

Chew

 

Please help anyone ... ?

Is the problem with my Zip ?

or the download site?

chew

 

Just for S & G (s**** & grins), I tried unzipping the reflist.ref with both Power Archiver and Zip-it. The date of the file was not today's, so I suspect that the link is either bad or has simply not been updated content-wise.

 

Thank you Dangitall for you confirmation.

I will go to sleep now ... very sleepy now ... 2.30am here in UK ...

Will try again tomorrow.

Thanks everyone for introducing me to PowerArchiver 6.1.

Cheers

Chew

ZipOnOver

Thank you for the link.

But after I download it. It asked me for Registration.

I don't think it is free even if it is listed as Free.

I am still not downloading the right version of Ad-aware SE ... still giving me the old version.

hmmm m.....

Anyone facing the same problem?

Chew

 

i DLed yesterdays version of adaware ok. you should get latest version at this link

Hi iceni60

I have Ad-aware SE and am having difficulties trying to download their latest ref. file SE1R2 10.08.2004.

At the MajorGeek site I think it is purely for downloading the entire version of Ad-aware SE and NOT the ref. file. SE1R2 10.08.2004.

So are you referring to the ref. file or the new installation.

I am looking for only to update the ref. file.

Thanks

Chew

 

i was talking about the new installation not the ref. file
and i just checked and i have the same problem, with the new ref. file and yesterdays version of adaware.it updates, but when i restart old ref. is loaded.

 

iceni60

Thanks for another confirmation.

So I guess there is something wrong with Ad-aware SE new download ref. file?

I have tried to zip and to unzip it using ... WinZip 9.0 then PowerAchiver 6.1 then PowerAchiver 8.6 and all of them were giving me the same problem. i.e. the ref file list was the old one ...

So the problem might be on Ad-aware download site? Ya?
