File archivers were primarily invented to make file storage and transportation easier.

Though you can save some space by storing your files in archives, there are plenty of other cases when archivers are indispensable. The market has a couple of decent offerings now, among them B1 Free Archiver – light and easy compression and unpacking tool.
