.net c# zip compression

In case you haven't found out yet, the .net compression library (System.io.compresison) is not the easiest to use. I didnt find it very intuitive at all. After a short time my limited patience was exausted and I went searching for an opensource solution. Easily, the best i found was SharpZipLib. Tar, Zip, GZip, compress, uncompress, source code, the works. A link to its download page is below. Please contribute to them if you use it. Long live the opensource movement.
