WINRAR 3.51 Free Sunday July 30th 2006


Recommended Posts

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. :|

This is what I have, and i've done a couple of refresh to be sure :

Win-rar.com conveniently goes down.

Yeah but don't you still need to download that specific winrar or can you use that in the 3.51 in rarlab?

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)

Thankyou. That's that sorted then.

Got the key from a post above and got the file from you. (Y) No need to goto Winrar now (Y)(Y)(Y)

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!!

    • I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years
    • Hello, Paul. Thanks for the editorial. It was interesting. I'm going research more into the app and its concept. Of course, if you know me at all, you know that I'd say your articles needs some editing! I a;ways do, don't I? For instance, the article occasionally mentions a concept before defining it, e.g., relays.
    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.
