For those who have issues with .rar files (Computer)

I've noticed that some people seem to have issue when downloading .rar files.

Well, I use 7-Zip. it's free, easy and it works.

So if anyone is interested, download it here.

Enjoy.

Just download winrar instead, seriously. It pwnz winzip. Though its probaly better to have both.

Plus with winzip you have to wait eighty bajillion seconds.

Actually, I'd have to say that 7 zip is better because it's free, whereas to be able to zip things into .rar with winrar you need to pay. That said for anyone just unzipping things there's no real difference and winrar is quicker.

I didn't have to pay...and that 40 day trial thing doesn't matter. Everyone I know and me just closes it out and continues with it and it works the same.
