Winrar

I remember winrar had a free version a long time ago, is possible to download yet?

Hello Syobon, and welcome to Seven Forums.

It's available for download, but it's only a 40-day trial version before having to purchase it. A good free one instead is 7-Zip.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

I don't ever recall it being free in all the years I have used it. It has always been shareware.

i do not recommend 7-zip to anyone. 7-zip has problems with large files. stick with winrar and just deal with the nagscreen.

brink did not say winrar was free, but rather a 40 day trial. however once the 40 day trial is up the worse you will get is the purchase winrar nag screen every time you use, but none of it's functions will be disabled.

I did not say that Brink said that. I was responding to syobon999 regarding the fact that it has never been free, even a "long time ago."
