    .rar .zip .tar .7z .ace etc

    .rar or .zip cause most file unzipping program use those. .7z is good because 7 zip doesnt have that ad popping up everytime u use it, but not all unzipping program can unzip that, so when i give stuff to my friends in .7z, they cant unzip it, so i just use .rar or .zip.

    Either .rar or .zip as well.
    Wonder if it's just me, seems like more and more people are using .rar rather than .zip, almost all the compressed files I download are in .rar format.

    I happen to I prefer zips and rars too.

    Whenever I download something from the internet its usually zipped. But when I down something big via bit torrent its usually in rar. I suppose it might be cos you can do more things with rars than zips.

    yup; .zip or .rar.
    i havent really used/heard of the other ones. and also zip files are abled to be opened without installing anything, but .rar is faster IMO.
