Default RAR FILE UNZIPPER

Hi Guys

Can anyone recommend a file unzipper programme for opening MODS without all the crap that you have to take to accept the licence?

Best wishes Peter

7Zip is the only one to use.... and it's free.

With rare exceptions (i.e. mods with excptionally long path names), I have always used winrar and never had problems with it, but 7Zip is also a good option

Very often WinRAR damages files during unpacking, especially in not .rar archives..
7zip is unpacking all types of archives very well..

Gap, 7Zip is so much easier to use. I've used Winrar and as V says it will damage files. Had it happen many times and couldn't figure out what was going on. After seeing many recommendations on 7Zip I took the plunge, and now I really like the results.
