  It’s pointless; you can have both sides download PeaZip (which, FYI, is superior to 7-Zip because it’s cross-platform instead of being Windows-only) and run part splicers; easy workaround. This only adds to the problem of yet another non-E2E service in the running.

    7-zip is cross platform too

      Oh, huh. Then everything saying it’s Win-only is outdated. Thanks. Is it back to being king, then?

        7-zip only has a gui for windows. That might be what you’re thinking about. For MacOS and Linux it is console only

        p7zip has been around since early 2000’s I think, and the official version from early 2020’s, so I wonder why that kind of info has been floating around…

    PeaZip is ridiculously slow on Linux, or it was when I tried it.

      Yikes, thanks for sharing this data point. Hopefully it’s been fixed…
