Some older file systems do not support files larger than 4 GB. Actual limits depend on the file system and available memory. The internal format of RAR and ZIP archives created by WinRAR allows storing practically any number of files of practically any size.
ZIP archives are usually created faster than RAR. So if you are going to send an archive to somebody, but you are not sure that your addressee has WinRAR to extract the archive contents, it might be a good idea to use the ZIP format.For example, most archives on the web are ZIP archives. The main advantage of the ZIP format is its popularity.RAR format has also a few important features missing in ZIP, such as the recovery record allowing reconstructing damaged data and locking important archives to prevent their accidental modification.WinRAR multi-volume archives in RAR format allow more functions like self-extracting volumes. Typically RAR format provides better compression than ZIP, especially in the solid mode.
