I found that 7-zip compresses files to less than half the size that WinZip does. The disadvantage is that files compressed with 7-zip has to be opened with 7-zip (but, if you select that option, 7-zip can open files compressed with WinZip); I don't know if that's the case with WinRAR.

7-zip can be downloaded for free from:
