How to compress 1 Gb data to 10 mb

Many times our hard disk runs out of space and we have to delete some data or the other for no reason. Even I used to face the problem sometime back in history and by doing some research on the topic, I actually found a working and an awesome way to save my hard disk space. How effective is it? Well by this method I converted NFS UNDERGROUND 2 which is somewhat around 2 Gb tb 21 Mb. And same is the case with everything important I wanted to save. How did I do it? You are just about to know… Read on. I used a software named KGB Archiver. About KGB archiver: KGB Archiver , an open source compression tool like 7zip and UHARC with an unbelievably high compression rate .It uses AES-256 encryption (one of the strongest encryption known for man) to encrypt archives . The disappointing thing with KGB Archiver is due to its high compression rate its minimum hardware requirement is high ( recommend processor with 1.5GHz clock and 256MB of RAM ) and compression and decompression process is time consuming. Its strength: Very high compression power with very accurate results and no loss of data. Its weeknss: Due to high compression , the time required to compress and decompress the file is high.
