minus-squareValmond@lemmy.mindoki.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down13·1 year agoWinRar decompresses directly to destination. All other I have tried does it to like c:/tmp (can probably change that though) then copy it over, which is impractical or even impossible with really large files. That’s about it though IMO.

I had TB files and just no space to have both a copy and the result, IIRC the speed was also obviously better without copying.
