Which archive software are we using in 2010 (and why)?

fenixproductions:
WinRAR for me because of:
 - the best speed/size ratio,
 - nice command line support,
 - file names encryption (SQX had that but died).

I don't have (much) experience with either of these, but 7-Zip also has command-line support (not sure how good it is) and file name encryption.

Now I feel ashamed because for password protection I could swear the opposite. When was it added? Has "error recovery" feature been added too? Either way speed issue remains.

It seems I am too much behind :(

I don't know when those options were added and I don't know if it has any "error recovery" features. I know it can check to make sure archives are valid, but I suspect that's not what you mean.

However you do not seem to grok that the bottleneck in my complete work-flow is the internet connection...

I understand internet connection speed is the bottleneck and I also understand in your case, the best archiver will be the one which compresses the most.

However, no archive utility relies on internet connection to do its job, so a measure which is based on internet connection speed can not be used to judge how good an archive program is.
