Description:
AutoUnpack is a freeware utility that can be used to automatically download, repair, and unpack all RAR-, 7z-, zip-, TS - archives, or splitted files (e.g. *.001). Which is especially useful for usenet binaries.
Normally people will start QuickPar while downloading (or afterwards) to verify whether the downloaded files are complete and to repair them if necessary. Then it is time to extract the downloaded files with WinRAR or 7-Zip . Finally they will delete the RAR and PAR files. So a couple of actions have to be performed by the user. AutoUnpack can automatically do this for us as follows:
1. While downloading files from usenet, start AutoUnpack and tell it which folder it should monitor (your download folder).
2. AutoUnpack analyzes this source folder to search for PAR2 files. It uses them to verify the downloaded files that belong to them. If some files are incomplete or missing and there aren't enough PAR2 repair blocks available, the program will show how many blocks are missing. It will analyze the folder again later (10 minutes for example).
3. If enough PAR2 repair blocks are available AutoUnpack will repair the missing or incomplete files (if necessary).
4. AutoUnpack will verify whether the repair was successful. If so, it will unpack the archive to extract the files.
5. Finally AutoUnpack can remove the RAR and PAR files after extraction.
Easy! Just start your download and start AutoUnpack as well. If all files or if enough PAR2 repair blocks are available, AutoUnpack will do the rest. It is able to repair all files in a PAR2 set, including MP3 files for example. It is able to unpack RAR archives but also splitted files ( 001 files ).

Universal Extractor v1.5
Description:
Universal Extractor is a program do to exactly what it says: extract files from any type of archive, whether it's a simple zip file, an installation program, or even a Windows Installer (.msi) package.
I should stress that this application is not intended to be a general purpose archiving program. It will never replace WinRAR, 7-Zip, etc. What it will do is allow you to extract files from virtually any type of archive, regardless of source, compression method, etc. The original motivation behind this project was that I wanted an easy, convenient way to extract files from installation packages, such as Inno Setup or Windows Installer packages, without pulling up a command line every time. In the process I got a little carried away and ended up throwing in support for every kind of archive format I possibly could find.

JustZIPit
Description:
The ZIP compression market is flooded with feature-packed software, but JustZIPit is not one of them! In the field of ZIP software, JustZIPit is "little ZIP program with less". So how is "less" a good thing? Well, the idea is that ZIP software has become unnecessarily complicated -- frustrating to most users who just do not need more complexity.
Consider WinZIP -- a most excellent program -- with a user manual of over a hundred pages and a "Quick Start Guide" ten pages long. It presents a sharp contrast to JustZIPit's total documentation of just one paragraph. Whereas WinZIP presents wizards, an eight-tab options dialog and over ten screens (just during installation), JustZIPit does not even have a user interface -- only a progress bar. In fact, all of JustZIPit's functionality is accessed through explorer’s context-menus.

Zipper v3
Description:
Zipper is a free compression program, and you don't need to pay anything for it. It doesn't contain pop-up ads or other annoying things. However, Zipper isn't free to maintain and wasn't free to create, because it contains commercial components, and was build with programming software.
While Zipper is a free program, it isn't a cheap program, and rivals many commercial programs in simplicity and ease of use. When you download the program you will have the opportunity to make a small donation by PayPal if you choose.
But having said that, the program is completely free and you don't have to pay a cent. Have fun :-)
