      That’s why I use dz instead. It provides ligma. It’s a much better compression algorithm.

        I don’t understand what you mean by this question… Because someone decided to create it?

        Exactly. People should just use zip for their compression libraries. Way more efficient

            Zip and WinRAR (the paid version obviously) being a good way to do compression over ssh, clearly
