    Winrar seems to work perfectly, although there are other softwares to shrink the size even more.

    This is a repeat, and someone needs to learn how to searc the forums :) But to answer your question, you should look into 7-zip. It is free and open source, it compresses to .zip, .rar, .7z and several other formats. The best part is that it is completely free and there are no hitches to using it. Check it out at http://www.7-zip.org/

    Winrar and winzip are the best, or if you want to shrink your files in a very large size, try other software there are many application that are great out there. Just search and explore the web, you will find some.

    According to my information , WINRAR is more suitable for compressing files than the Win Zip one .

    Winrar. Made a comparison before on the compression ratio and it is much better compared to winzip.
