That's strange, I know that I waited for a very long time then finally, I recieved it...

 

[noswal]

So what is the further information via e-mail?

I coincidently dowloaded winrar from their downloads page earlier, no mention of FREE

 

[Skeptik]

What's the catch - no updates OK and what else 'nagware', 'ads', 'spam'??

 

[titanium]

Spoof

There's a catch indeed - the official website for WinRAR is www.rarlabs.com.

I think www.win-rar.com is a spoof site, and anything you download from there is most likely suspect (ie laden with trojans/spyware).

There's no mention of this offer for a free download at rarlabs.com.

Download at your own peril...

EDIT: corrected url for rarlabs.com
EDIT2: Hmmm, on further googling, seems like there is more than 1 official site for WinRAR. I don't know anymore.

 

[noswal]

win-rar.com has been registered since 2001 in Germany, rarlab is registered in Russia - go figure

If you do a google search for win rar free peopleschoice you get over 100 similar posting to the first one. On dslreports.com forum several are saying they have downloaded it

I had to d/l 3.51 from tucows (my version was 3.3). but apart from a nag screen there is no difference, the "3.3 evaluation version" still worked 100% after the 40 day eval period.

hey guys.. phazeddl.com

its always been free. So is everything on the net.

But that would be illegal..

Total Commander

I use Total Commander which has Packers built in.
ARJ, LHA, RAR, UC2, ACE, TAR, ZIP.
If needed one can configure more packers if needed. Never had need to.
Most files on the internet have mostly been ZIP, RAR or ACE.

Ditto on Total Commander. I registered it in about 1994...
