WinRAR 3.51 is free!
http://msfn.org/comments.php?shownews=17865

Pretty frickin' sweet if you ask me. I like WinRAR compared to most other compression programs because of it's size and compatibility.

Only this specific version is free due to the special promotion. It doesn't span to any other version. Also, use the link someone provided in the comments of that news post, because www.win-rar.com is getting hammmmmarrred!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That's awesome.
I really like WinRAR's "add each file to seperate archive" feature. I used it to compress some ROMs.
Also, it seems like my version of WinRAR is much older than the one provided, I guess it's time to update...

Thanks for posting that Render, would have missed that otherwise.

Yeah. Note that this offer is for today (July 30th) ONLY!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Who cares?

No honestly, 7-Zip has been around for some time now, which is free, unpacks every relevant format, offers shell integration and a pretty efficient (open-source) compression algorithm, namely 7z. Why do people cling to a proprietary program with its primary distinction being annoying shareware messages or the need for a crack? (Safe for this one-time offer, of course.)

Won't the installer install a registered version anyway, no matter what date you run the installer?

Because RAR is easily alot more widely used than 7z. If you were after the absolute best compression then just go for UHARC.

There's still *.zip for light and *.tar.gz for high compression - which are both supported by all major archivers, I believe.

I'm kind of curious what makes you think tar.gz is "high" compression, since in all my experience with the archive (`tar -czf` and friends), the compression has been almost identical to what a ZIP provides, with RAR being far ahead of that.

Though, that may just be me, and I can't find any benchmarks to back up or demolish that claim.

Download the attachment Roph posted. I believe that's what they have you download, and it installs a full, registered copy of WinRAR.
