Have you even tried to find it? If so I wonder how as my very first Google result is the 7 Zip website with it's download section.

Downloads almost always come in compressed (zipped) files. This makes the files much smaller and easier to upload and download. You need a program that can unzip the files before you can use them. General opinion is that 7-Zip is the best of these, though most of them will get the job done.

Yes, Google is your friend, and typing in a name like 7zip will take you pretty much right where you want to go, but in the interest of presenting a good face for Subsim here is the correct address.

If you get any more awards Steve you'll look like those DPRK generals.

Sorry, it was almost 2 AM here. That got my patience down a little.

7Zip files can also be extracted (decompressed) by using WinRAR and, I suspect, by a few other such programs. You don't necessarily need to have 7Zip to extract...
