The percentage is calculated via (1-(comressed size/uncompressed size))*100%, so no matter how compressed you go, you can't go past 100%.
Eg.:
Uncompressed size: 10Gb.
Compressed size: 2Gb.
(1-(2/10))*100%=80%
The function has a lim of 100% (which it won't actually reach), but it can't be above 100%.
Yes I know, was just being funny...
But at the KGB it looks like if you have enough of memory you can compress it to a very good easy portable size. No matter what.

i would peferr to stay with winrar it's good enough for me
Yes I prefer WinRAR too, but there are times where you need to compress something big to a small size, and KGB does the job for me.
u might will corrpt the file
yer, KGB is free and uh i must ssay it does have a very good compression ratio
I saw Windows Vista compressed to 2.6mb with KGB, but the link went dead so I never got a chance to try it!
wow... even tho i h8 windows vista that is a very nice compression
Yeah, that was the sole reason I wanted to try it!
Otherwise I would never even look twice at it. I was bummed out when the link was dead.

Yes man it's unbelievable but TRUE, well GTA was compressed few times with tricks.. to reach 64KB.
The KBG Archiever has compression ratio over 100% 
But the programm EATS RAM during (de)compression.
I wasn't suggesting that it wasn't true of course, just that it sounds unbelievable, if you know what I mean.
Amazing really though, but I can imagine that it could take a while
to achieve that level of compression, as well as consuming RAM, in a truly hog-like fashion.
Well, I just downloadad KGB Archiver, to test it out, but
VirusTotal gives the following:
Antiy-AVL 2.0.3.7 2009.10.26 Virus/Win32.Daum.gen
which seems to be indicating it as a a trojan/dropper.
But
Virus-Trap came up clean, so maybe it's a false positive?
I couldn't get the page at
VirScan to load, but that usually backs up
VirusTotal in most cases.
I'll try
VirScan again later and check it out, as it may be a useful thing to have.
