Simple, fast and safety alternative for unzip
There's one that's also written in rust: https://github.com/ouch-org/ouch

Ouch - simple compression and decompression for your terminal
I use for some time Ouch, It's a CLI tool for compressing and decompressing various formats (at this moment .tar, .zip, .gz, .xz, .lzma, .bz, .bz2, .lz4, .sz, .zst). You can compress, decompress or list archive. It's just one binary application, without dependencies and for my usage is very fast. I don't create a lot of archives, I usually unpack them when I download something from the web and so far I'm very happy with ouch. It has a simple command syntax. I use on my machines with Debian musl version from release page and on Arch there are packages in AUR (to build with cargo or binary version).

Is there a tool to handle decompression of multiple formats?
I personally use ouch. It suppirts a bunch of stuff and to quote the readme:
- Painless Compression and Decompression in the Terminal
-
Is there any command-line application that you wish existed but doesn't (or isn't as good as you wished)?
ouch - a command-line app to unify file compression and decompression
- Hop: 25x faster than unzip and 10x faster than tar at reading individual files
- Ouch 0.3.0 released!

Whats your favourite open source Rust project that needs more recognition?
Shameless plug here, my favorite project currently is ouch, nobody knows about it, but I think it might gain some traction when we publish it again.
- ouch: a small, cross-platform unified CLI app for file (de)compression

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (1/2023)!
I can't seem to cross compile code with library compress-tools. The linker would fail when I do it for some reason. Can anyone please help?

Downloading multiple files concurrently. Do I need async?
That is also an I/O operation. Luckily it seems like they have Tokio support. But my question is what if they didn't (hypothetically), would that be a blocking I/O? Would I have to call it using spawn_blocking in that case?
What are some alternatives?
