Isn't WinRAR free unless you use it for commercial purposes? (Stuff other than decompressing/compressing your archives/files)

Unfortunately it just gives you a 40 day trial no matter what your purposes are for it's use other than the Pocket PC version. http://www.rarlab.com/download.htmOriginally Posted by pkt-zer0

And most of the stuff here is free. And I've been using RAR now like, for ever.

Those are WinRAR and RAR archiver addons though. You've never gotten a warning from actual Winrar(not the addons) about it expiring though or had it complain that it's only a 40 day trial? If you just use the right click and extract or compress functions it doesn't give you a warning. You have to enter the Winrar GUI for it to complain.

Oh. Well that explains it.
But I could just use the free, command line version, and I wouldn't have a single trouble in the world. Or the DLL version. And WinRAR doesn't disable itself after that time, it just nags you, if you enter the GUI.
I've been using WinRAR through Total Commander to extract stuff, that's why I never really noticed it.

you have Theo's name in your sig. That's the funniest thing I have seen. If you're going to steal his Avatar for use in your sig, at least copy it correctly.

RAR? Meh. 7z? Bah. If you want hardcore compression, use UHARC
It has been shown in an independent study to get better compression than anything else out there. Good idea for you uploaders out thereIt takes like ten times as long though.

hey i have the trial to and that stupid pop up comes up sayin a 40 day trial period, but then the next day it still said 4 day trial then after likr 3 months it said the same thing so i think the trial is juss a bluff juss ignore the pop up, its never ending
so dont worry bout it

You speak the truth. I've seen games that were ripped down to 10% of their size with converting audio to MP3, and then compressing it with UHARC. It supposedly yields a pretty decent result with multimedia files.RAR? Meh. 7z? Bah. If you want hardcore compression, use UHARC

However I don't really think it matters much in this case, most people would rather not mess around with yet another wacky compression, when they have trouble even decompressing a RAR file, then to have to download for a little less time.

In terms of a universal compressing solution though, doing so in a technically "legal" way (although RAR is respectable, functional, self-contained software), except in the case of the PocketPC version everything's going to be a trial version, even if it's just command line. It's really more of a question of swittcing over to freeware. Perhaps 7z might be the answer, although I've never met anyone that's registered WinRAR, though everybody uses it. I'm just a bit biased against software that costs money.
