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...

http://www.digg.com/software/Win_rar_com_c...ently_goes_down

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!!

      All these CEOs got the biggest boners thinking about firing employees for AI. Turned out it was just a wet dream.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By excalpius · Posted

      And the fact that the majority of people from Poland are white European Christians while the people you are complaining about in post after post are not is just a coincidence... Every sentence in your post I am replying to is racist nonsense. None of it is actually based on any facts whatsoever. All immigrants are seeking a better life too. It's literally the only reason they would risk everything and leave their homes, families, and homeland. They are working and contributing to the economy too, as you even admit. They get the same benefits your partner did AND that YOU are eligible for as well. That is one of the key things of the EU and a mark of a civilization. That is the definition of a society where everyone is given a chance, treated equally and fairly, and is judged by the content of their character, not their different skin color or which version of ignorant superstitious nonsense their parents lied about as children. Racists around the world said the same things about the Irish and Jews and Poles (like your partner) and...every other immigrant movement over the centuries. What's your family's heritage, by the way? Were your ancestors lied about with racist fearmongering crapola by self-entitled locals the same way as you are now? If someone like that said the same things about all people from Poland, like your partner, would they be right? Or would you want them to judge your partner based on who they actually were, not where they just happened to come from?

      Again, this is an irrelevant attempt to attack the messenger. The truth does not require any justification.

      Removed the blue and underline as you did not post a link. This would also  be considered spamming.
