I have to download files here, then take them home and use WinRAR to open them there. It's really quite frustrating. >:(

I hate .rar! Evil I tell you.

IKR?!

If packing files into a .rar made them considerably smaller, I could understand why people would do it. But from what I can tell, there's really not that much of a difference. So frustrating!

zipgenius works for either one, and its a freebie.

one of my fav bits of freeware.

I can't install anything at work, which is a pain. Windows can open regular zip files, but not .rars. So I have to download things here, save them to my flash drive, then open them up at home.

It's just frustrating and inconvenient. :p

I think it's that .rar files compress better? IDK, I'm not too crazy about them, either. =/
