RAR
I have been out of the download loop for the past 6 months since youtube, mega-upload and rapidshare was disallowed here in the university facilities. Although there are other venues for downloading videos, I took it as a sign to put a stop to it. (yes, it is indeed time-consuming and already adds to my "not so focused" focus groups).
I never listened to all the compressed mp3 albums that I downloaded before so it is only now that I'm accessing them.
Which points me to WinRAR. the apparent compression tool of choice. I'm not well-aware of the cycle of compression tools after WinZip, but i recall using ARJ and other DOS-based compression tools 10 years ago, where in I was saving files in like 20 1.44MB floppy disks. Sign of the times and where I was left behind.
