7-Zip provides superior decompression speed for RAR archives.

For solid
archives it decompresses only the minimum number of files needed. For
example, consider a solid archive archive.rar containing 100000 files
created by the command:
rar a archive.rar -s100 * -r
In this solid archive, each group of 100 files is compressed as one big
file. To extract one file from that archive, 7-Zip will decompress (in
memory) only some files from one group. As a result, 7-Zip can provide
the combined advantages of solid compression and high speed of
decompression.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use 7-Zip in a commercial organization?
Yes, 7-Zip is free software. You can use it on any computer. You don't
need to register or pay for 7-Zip.

Why doesn't the command line version add files that do not have any
extension?
You probably used a *.* wildcard. 7-Zip doesn't use the Windows system
wildcard parser; so, 7-Zip doesn't follow the archaic rule by which *.*
matches every file name. 7-Zip treats *.* as matching only a file name
with an extension. To process all files, you must use a * wildcard or just
omit the wildcard entirely.

Why doesn't adding, deleting or updating an existing archive work?


The current version of 7-Zip cannot change an archive created with the
solid option switched on. To update a .7z archive you must create and
update the archive in non-solid mode (-ms=off switch)

What about support for ACE archives?


Support for ACE can be implemented, if the source code of that format is
made available, and if the source code license will allow using that code.
