WinRar

Spike88 · 02-26-2009, 02:38 PM

I normally download Winrar for all my uncompressing needs. If you've used winrar before you know it has a trial period before you have to buy the license. I've had it over the trial period and it still works fine. Is there any point in getting a license, or then the fact its technically illegal to keep using it? I've always pondered this.

Add WinRAR to favorites and every 30 days delete it and go to them and reinstall it.

Problem solved.

Well it works fine now even though the trial is over, it just occassionaly yells at me.

Since I only use it for games I live with it.

Or just use 7zip: its free, has shell and GUI capabilities like winrar, can view/open/extract any other kind of archive including rar, can have far superior compression rates (especially if you tailor the settings for what your archiving) to rar files, and can compress .7z .zip .gzip .bzip2 and .tar.
