      Why does lzma exist anyway?

        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

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

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