hehe yeah, but link is real.
They discovered viral marketing and it works for them so far.
PeaZIP is little better specially with TAR etc, open source as well.
7zip supports tar doesn't it?
Supported formats:
Packing / unpacking: 7z, XZ, BZIP2, GZIP, TAR, ZIP and WIM
yeah, but PeaZIP has more features for GZ and other formats. I use both along with WinRAR as default.
7Zip for life homes!!
I've switched to peazip too. There's not a lot of difference between tools that essentially just uncompress files, but its been great.
I just discovered the 'peatools' that come with it which is super handy for checking checksums and such
Does it support .rar ?
Yes, it does
Only for uncompressing.
Exactly, who pays for WinRAR when you have 7-zip
Some folks just like to pay for things apparently
Ballers.
People who have used both.
i mean you can also use winrar for free forever. that's kinda the point. it's a great company that provided a lot and never forced anyone to pay, so now people would like to show their appreciation and support them
I used free version WinRAR when I need to archive lot of files each to separate zip.
Wandering if 7-zip or any other can do it?
Any idea? Thanks.
Yes, there's an option "split to volumes" in 7-zip
@tukanglistrik: Thank you, but I mean not split by volumes. I need every file put to separed zip archive with same names as original file names. About 8000 files.
As far as I do know back to time when I did it, only WINRAR was able to do it

Yes. But where is the fun in it?
And 7z has by far the best compression ratio and speed compared to rar and zip.
Run Powershell in Admin mode and paste
winget install —id=7zip.7zip -e
Sit back and relax.
this deal is a prank.
Thanks got one
Does the software still work forever regardless of whether you purchase it or not..
still work forever
Depends on your view of climate change.
Ah yes I remember the reminder of my trial being over 1000 days expired. Good times
I still have my pkzip founder's membership
I still remember his death, it was in a computer magazine back then
I'll drink to that…
please don't jv, we need you for the bold kingdom.
Bought 6
Please don’t tell me people actually use WinRAR in 2023.

This isn’t a deal. It’s shit software for $20 when free, safe and open source alternatives exist.
Looks like you need to stop using 7-zip now and go around telling everyone it's shit software: https://www.scappman.com/post/everything-you-need-to-know-ab…
Did you even compare the two?
WinRAR exploit allows embedding malicious scripts inside archives. The 7-zip allows privilege escalation to a user who already has access. Neither are great, but the WinRAR one is by far worse.
But the most important part is the exploit is actually due to a Windows help file bug.
Lol
Your vote will get revoked if you don’t give a reason.
Edit: why am I being down voted for trying to help?
?
Personally I've used 7zip for a decade or longer, it's free, it's a much smaller footprint.
I think Windows 11 now does the same archives too.
Nope
Your vote will get revoked if you don’t give a reason.
Freeware does the same thing.
👍
Windows 11 will include rar support in the next update/s…. No need to buy.
Surely this is an ironic joke…
Winrar has been obsolete for a long time and had gone completely out of favour by 2005. Almost no-one has paid for Winrar since 7-zip first came out over 20 years ago and there lots of other free alternatives nowadays too.
Not that I need that feature, but you can't make RAR files with 7-zip. You can only extract them.
does anyone remember WinACE ?
Better than paying for WinZip
Extract Now ftw
Plenty of free programs that do way more than this joke software.
This is shit, nobody needs this
hehe
Seems like a joke from 9gag saying people buy winrar
