Right now, considering that I'm at work and this computer runs windows expee (I'd call it windows-mega-poo, but ignore me) I'd like to make a quick software recommendation.
7-zip.
You are probably quite acquainted with windows programs such as winrar and winzip. Both of them are proprietary applications and both of them require that you pay to keep using them once the trial period has expired.
7-zip, on the other hand, is a free, open source application that runs on windows platforms and can handle several archive types: 7z, ZIP, CAB, RAR, ARJ, GZIP, BZIP2, Z, TAR, CPIO, RPM and DEB. It is very easy to use; it has a nice, intuitive and unbloated GUI, it's fast and you don't have to pay to use it. You shouldn't be downloading warez versions that are illegal and might contain viruses embedded in them, when you can safely use 7-zip for as long as you like at home and/or at the office and just get the work done.
You might want to give it a try. The official site for 7-zip has some nice screenshots and guidelines that will give you a good idea of how the application works.
The second recommendation will be for another free, open source application: FileZilla.
FileZilla is a fast, nice, easy to use, free and flexible FTP Client. Either if you FTP to your personal site or if you use it for FTP downloads, FileZilla is a reliable solution for windows users.
Additionally, has any of you tried the applications I recommended last time? If you did, let me know what you think about them. ^_^
