A number of advanced algorithms have been implemented together with further optimization of software collaboration with new software and hardware.

Security in WinRAR

It has never been more important to secure its data than it is now. WinRAR has always done this well, but in WinRAR 5.20 this is lifted to new heights once more. Now you can encrypt archives with the advanced 256-bit AES encryption that protects your files and data better than ever before.

WinRAR compression

RAR archives have over the years gained much recognition for the high degree of compression. In WinRAR 5.20, the user can now compress archives with dictionaries that make up to 1 GB in the 64-bit version, enabling compressing at a higher compression ratio than possible in earlier versions.

The speed

However, it is also important for the speed of operations, and the WinRAR 5.20 is also very useful. The new algorithms make both packing and unpacking of compressed archives faster than before. This is primarily due to the use of multithreaded de-compression on multi-core systems. Finally, it can be mentioned that WinRAR 5.20 now also lets the user enter up to 2048 characters, instead of 260, in the filename. The program also got better to save archives with errors.
