    Settings for max compression in 7zip

    I would like to compress my files to be as small as possible. What are the best settings to achieve this using 7zip?

    I am using the following settings :

    Archive format : 7z
    Compression level : Ultra
    Compression method : LZMA

    Is the above settings ok?

    ofcourse, if you want them the most crazily small and dont mind frying your computer in the process, you could try kgb archiver, if you really want the smallest size.

    Jesus... last time I ran across a .KGB file, I thought the Soviets were after me.

    But you aren't kidding on the killing your computer. Brayden, if I remember right, was telling me once on how bad they can be.
