WinRAR is an archive manager with support for packing RAR and ZIP archives and unpacking RAR, ZIP, ZIP64, 7Z (7-Zip), CAB, ARJ, LZH (Lempel-Ziv-Huffman), TAR, GZ, ACE, UUE, BZ2, JAR (Java Archive developed by Sun Microsystems) and ISO (ISO9660) archives. You may use it to backup your data, reduce the size of email attachments, decompress files downloaded from the Internet and create your own file archives.

What's new in Version 3.70 beta 6:

* Bugs corrected:

a) WinRAR shell did not allow to create recovery volumes for locked RAR volumes. Now the recovery volumes option is accessible for both locked and not locked RAR volumes;

b) WinRAR displayed incorrect sizes for files inside of UDF ISO archives if file size exceeded 4 GB. Such files were unpacked correctly, but their sizes in file list window were displayed wrong.

Use 7 Zip instead. Its free.

Ugh. I am so sick and tired of seeing this particular comment in reference to 7-Zip. 7-Zip DOES NOT CREATE RAR FILES. Yes, it can unpack them, as can most free archivers, but it CANNOT CREATE them. As excellent of a compression format as 7z is, RAR is very widely used, and not being able to create it is a big minus. Food for thought.

7-zip has problems unpacking RAR archives that contain large files.

#7 ThePitt on 03 Apr 2007 - 15:29

/me waits ill a major update. If there is one

#8 Tuffgong4 on 03 Apr 2007 - 18:31

is there anything else out there that repacks .rar files into a whole file? I haven't seen anything that can put pieces of a larger file together.

#9 Vettetech on 03 Apr 2007 - 21:31

You people are amazing.Like I said I dont pay for any software. I use AVG Free,Comodo Firewall,AVG Anitvirus, and Spyware Blaster. ALL FREE. I also use 7 zip which is free. And no hapbt I will not be buying WinRAR.

Vettetech why does this have to become a flame war?

Neowin posts information about a software release. Why did you have to respond with an alternative? If you don't have anything actually constructive to say about it why did you have to post?

This beta runs very well on vista/xp and file sizes have shrunk by a small fraction.

I am trying to inform people that there is free software out there as an alternative to pay ones.

#11.1 CocoVG on 04 Apr 2007 - 10:52

Of course there are free alternatives, and you're welcome to use them - but keep in mind there are -no- free alternatives that create RAR files, nor are all the free alternatives completely compatible with unpacking RAR files (for example, as noted above with large files). Recommending free software to replace paid software only makes sense when the free software covers at least the basic functionality of the paid software. If you can't get the same benefit with free software, whether or not it exists as an alternative is moot.

By the way, WinRAR can unpack the 7z format, even though it currently doesn't pack files in that format.

Better to use WinRar than the built-in zip extraction on Vista.

#13 Huleboeren on 04 Apr 2007 - 20:02

How is WinRAR not free?
The 'trial' version covers most needs..

#14 serenityrule1515 on 05 Apr 2007 - 21:55

trial version...haha...just get the torrent for it..with the crack
