4293x |
bzip2 is a freely available, patent free (see below), high-quality data compressor. It typically compresses files to within 10% to 15% of the best available techniques (the PPM family of statistical compressors), whilst being around twice as fast at compression and six times faster at decompression.

3978x |
Untarka extracts TAR (Unix Tape ARchive) files without calling any external programs. It supports and autodetects multiple compression methods (.tar, .tar.Z, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .Z, .gz, and .bz2). Unix devices, sockets, hard links, symlinks, owners, and permissions are ignored during extraction.

hzip |
http://www.jitit.com/[..]ZIP/hzip.html |
3145x |
HZIP compresses most HTML files 20%-70%. This means you use that much less bandwidth on your pages, and users will see their page download that much faster. HZIP keeps the original content of the HTML page you have produced, so it looks the same before and after. HZIP works by removing unnecessary spaces, comments, newline characters, and META tags that are placed in your files by HTML editors.

Ex0r |

3052x |
Ex0r can do three simple tasks. It can create tarballs that can extract themselves when executed, it can convert regular tarballs into self-extracting tarballs, and it can create tarballs that are both self-extracting and self-installing (via install.sh).

makeself |
http://www.megastep.org/makeself/ |
2795x |
makeself is a small shell script that generates a self-extractible tar.gz archive from a directory. The resulting file appears as a shell script (many of those have a .run suffix), and can be launched as is. The archive will then uncompress itself to a temporary directory and an optional arbitrary command will be executed (for example an installation script). This is pretty similar to archives generated with WinZip Self-Extractor in the Windows world. Makeself archives also include checksums for integrity self-validation (CRC and/or MD5 checksums).
