To create that key 7-Zip uses derivation function based on SHA hash algorithm. A key derivation function produces a derived key from text password defined by user. The SHA is executed 2 18 K times [1] which causes a significant delay on slow PCs before compression or extraction starts. This technique is called key strengthening and is used to make a brute-force search for the passphrase more difficult. A workaround is to convert data to a tar bitstream before compressing with 7z.

Unlike WinRAR, 7z cannot extract "broken files" - that is for example if one has the first segment of a series of 7z files, 7z cannot give the start of the files within the archive - it must wait until all segments are downloaded. WinZip has the same limitation.

File Formats Wiki Explore. ZIP files have capability to store multiple files using different compression techniques while at the same time supports storing a file without any compression. In order to render the compressed files, a ZIP archive holds a directory at its end that keeps the entry of the contained files and their location in the archive file. It, thus, plays the role of encoding for encapsulating information necessary to render the compressed files. The format keeps dual copies of the directory structure to provide greater protection against loss of data.

Each file in a ZIP archive is represented as an individual entry where each entry consists of a Local File Header followed by the compressed file data. The Directory at the end of archive holds the references to all these file entries. ZIP file readers should avoid reading the local file headers and all sort of file listing should be read from the Directory.
