.RAR files?

Does anyone know of a free program that can open .RAR files? I've downloaded a torrent and it is in RAR format but everything I seem to find is for purchase. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You can use the trial of WinRar.

Re: .RAR files?

Winrar works great. After the end of the trial it turns into nagware though.

Yes, WinRAR. But I have a bug that somehow gives me infinite trail.

Re: .RAR files?

7-Zip is freeware and open source. You can't get much better than that.

Re: .RAR files?

BTW, WinRAR has some issues in extracting numerous files the click and drag way.

Winrar fan myself, but maybe I should give 7-zip a try.

Re: .RAR files?

I find the easiest way to do it is to use unrar e filename.rar. But I am a Linux user so I like the command line...

7-Zip is nice but I still like WinRAR more. Drizzid if you are interested in the full version of WinRAR for free... let me know.
