WinRar decompresses directly to destination. All other I have tried does it to like c:/tmp (can probably change that though) then copy it over, which is impractical or even impossible with really large files.

That's about it though IMO.

    You can decompress directly to the destination with 7zip as well. You just need to use the "extract" button instead of doing a drag and drop.
