They should have anticipated this. It used to be called Slashdot effect, but now with sites like digg, del.ico and neowin, sites dont stand a chance if they happen to creep into one of these vortex of bandwidth suckage. Me im a 7z user and only use rar once in a while to extract some rare rar files.

Funny thing is this thread got not only Digged but Slashdotted (I think) and pasted all over del.ic.ious. Heh.

I agree, they should have forseen this sort of demand. Any company in this day and age especially with Digg around that doesn't plan ahead for something like this, is just asking for a meltdown. :|

By the way everyone Digg this...

Win-rar.com conveniently goes down.

http://www.digg.com/software/ WinRAR_Free_on_Sunday_July_30_2006 Maybe it's early yet, but this seems pretty devious. Say you'll give out free copies on one day - and on that day the site is down.

Actually no, as far as I know if you buy WinRAR you get a version with the key embedded...

Found on the original Digg of the Neowin post... (http://www.digg.com/software/WinRAR_to_be_..._Sunday_July_30)

wrar351.legal.special.offer.exe from http://eazyshare.net/files

that file appears to be fake (like the corporate version).

EDIT: while it might not matter using it would still be illegal!

You should download the rarkey.rar from this link (http://www.win-rar.com/bestoverallutility/download.php) you get in email (has an unique id also) after registering at http://www.win-rar.com/bestoverallutility/

be patient and keep trying it does work eventually. click submit, wait 10 seconds, check email then repeat until you receive your download link (only works twice). I got my email after 9 trys (but it took about 15 retrys to get to the form).

Use your key file (inside rarkey.rar) with official WinRAR 3.51 from http://www.rarlabs.com/rar/wrar351.exe only!!

Ooo thanks, I have removed the link, but it doesn't really matter it doesn't seem to have any virus or anything.

    • draw.io Desktop 30.2.6

      By Copernic · Posted

      draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 changelog: Uses electron 42.5.0 #2452 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.6.
