Can't un-rar?

Marshillboy · 07-25-2008, 03:33 PM

Just use the free archive extraction program extractnow:

ExtractNow - Extract multiple archives easily

It supports many archive formats, chief among them being .zip and .rar's.

ExtractNow is great for decompression.
It's only downside is that you can't create an archive

7-zip works well too. It can't create RAR files, but it can extract them, as well as creating and extracting 7z, ZIP, .tar.gz, and .tar.bz2 archives.

Alzip is free and pretty nice too, many file types supported

I see, I still like media-convert better

. I don't have to bother un-raring(wouldn't want to wast 3 seconds) after the download is finished.

IMO WinRAR is the best unzipping program available.

This is the Internet, everything is free.

Aside from that, WinRAR has a 30 day trial, afterwards it will tell you to buy a license key. But, that's all. If you hit cancel you can just keep using the program. It will tell you to buy a key each time you start it up, but it wont ever stop actaully working.

ive had my winrar for probably 7 months at least now and i just keep hitting that cancel button and it keeps working perfectly
