Decompress RAR Files

Rewired

Howdy,

I need a simple freeware utility to decompress files with the RAR file extension. Where should I get started with this? Thank you in advance.

WinRAR is free, and easy to use.

EDIT
Wrong link, and upon inspection I guess it's actually not free I think... Sorry!

Fixed the link... I think you can download a trial though.

I've never had WinRAR quit working for me . . . maybe the newer versions do, though. If so, try www.sourceforge.net for an OS RAR (de)compressor like 7zip

TheGr81,

Thank you very much. I D/Led this utility. It seems to be a free shareware, and I was able to decrompress my files. Thanks again.

WinRAR is the ONLY Compression/DECompression utlity that does a good job, at least I havent found one yet for winblows.

Who really compresses with RAR anymore anyway... I mean really....

I use and love WinACE. ACE is slightly better than RAR, and it will decompress all the formats I've ever come across, (including RAR).. It's so good, that I bought it. A bargain at $20

I use WinRAR for all my compressed files.
It does a good job and Isn't loaded with a lot of useless functions.

Everyone who's anyone knows that LZIP is the way to go.

Only use lossy codecs (like lzip) if it doesn't matter that some of the data will be lost.
