    Seems like a joke from 9gag saying people buy winrar

    • bazingaa on 15/09/2023 - 18:58

      hehe yeah, but link is real.

    • Vecernik87 on 15/09/2023 - 20:28

      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?

        • The Value on 15/09/2023 - 19:03

          Supported formats:

          Packing / unpacking: 7z, XZ, BZIP2, GZIP, TAR, ZIP and WIM
        • bazingaa on 15/09/2023 - 19:04

          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

    • boomramada on 15/09/2023 - 19:22

      Does it support .rar ?

      • mynameisborat on 15/09/2023 - 19:31

        Yes, it does

      • bio on 15/09/2023 - 23:22

        Only for uncompressing.

      Exactly, who pays for WinRAR when you have 7-zip

      • 0jay on 15/09/2023 - 20:43

        Some folks just like to pay for things apparently

        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

      • simb24 on 16/09/2023 - 22:18

        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.

        • tukanglistrik on 18/09/2023 - 13:44

          Yes, there's an option "split to volumes" in 7-zip

          • simb24 on 18/09/2023 - 15:15

            @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?

    • tukanglistrik on 15/09/2023 - 21:39

      And 7z has by far the best compression ratio and speed compared to rar and zip.

    • OnlineShopper123 on 15/09/2023 - 21:40

      Run Powershell in Admin mode and paste
      winget install —id=7zip.7zip -e

      Sit back and relax.

    Does the software still work forever regardless of whether you purchase it or not..

    • jv on 15/09/2023 - 19:21

      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

    Please don’t tell me people actually use WinRAR in 2023.

    https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/winrar-zero-d…

    This isn’t a deal. It’s shit software for $20 when free, safe and open source alternatives exist.

    • umexcuseme on 16/09/2023 - 11:45
      +1

      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

    • PainToad on 15/09/2023 - 21:37

      Your vote will get revoked if you don’t give a reason.

      Edit: why am I being down voted for trying to help?

      • reactor-au on 16/09/2023 - 04:57

        ?

        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

  • Digitalsin on 15/09/2023 - 21:26

    Windows 11 will include rar support in the next update/s…. No need to buy.

  • Freezies on 15/09/2023 - 21:59

    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.

    • bio on 15/09/2023 - 23:21

      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 ?
