Reasons to use .zip. Anyone can unzip it, works with programs that can load stuff from zip.

Reasons to use .rar. You get better compression making hosting faster and cheaper. The unzip program is free. You just can't do the load from zip stuff. Most of the time that's not worth it though.

They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it's not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.

Reason to not use compression : you can't change the files directly and test it instantly.
If I struggled to the end of my determination, to the end of my way of life with my followers, if the result is ruin, then this ruin is inevitable. Grieve. Shed tears. But you cannot regret.
