>people still use this bloated garbage
It works. At least its not 7zip
>>52585464
I don't. Nearly everyone has switched over to 7zip too.
I still bought a winrar license for like $20 last year just to say thanks to the winrar devs. For years winrar had kept nagging me to pay yet it kept all the features I needed for free. Winrar was a true bro.
Winrar is great if you give em 20 bucks

Someday people will forget about it, just like it happened to WinZip
What is a better alternative?
>>52585847
It werks
>>52585551
No you fucking didn't you cunt.
7zip isn't better than winrar. they're pretty much the same in terms of speed
>>52585847
Peapod
Type in, open source rar
Any of them are good.

>>52585878
I actually bought a full version of winrar and use it to this day. I don't know how to feel. I bought it mainly because it just werks (tm) and I had no idea 7zip even existed.
What's wrong with winrar anyway? Why do people object paying a license for winrar anyway? Are most people THAT fucking dirt poor?

Recovery record, compression and encryption at the same time, in one file and in one simple operation. It can't be beat.
The only other alternative is to run Linux on a machine with ECC ram and have the HDDs formatted in ZFS with compression activated and store true-crypt volumes on that.
If that's not your thing, you can just install WinRar on your Windows machine.
Why do you need recovery record, compression and encryption at the same time I hear you ask? To protect and store your files as efficiently and safe as possible of course.
>>52585847
tar
>>52586541
I'm actually serious. Recovery record ensures data integrity, compression negates the overhead of a large recovery record and encryption is always advisable, especially if you plan on backing up your data to the cloud.
>nobody remembers me ;_;
>>52585428
takes 1 seconds to install, literally. i love winrar.
>>52585551
>didn't know about rarreg.key
>>52586854
Or you could pay the god damn fucking license. Honestly, you ultra poorfags bug me the most.
>people actually use this disgusting garbage
>>52585464
7-zip is strictly better than Winrar. Open source, better compression, works with more formats, etc.
>>52585428
I got WinRAR running on Zorin OS, until 5 days ago when i removed dbus and the whole system went nuts.
>>52586923
is this windows 95?
>>52585770
The Linux version is an open source implementation of the RAR format. The windows version is shitty proprietary malware.
>>52585847
Don't ask /g/ what you're suppose to use, the answer will always be "anything except the thing you're using right now".
Winrar is fine.
I have all of reddit (sans pictures) in a .rar. Takes up a little over 150GB. 1.8 billion comments. I love winrar.
>>52585551
People actually bought the license? For what reason?
I kinda wanna get the physical CD version just as a novelty. I wonder how it looks.. No pictures of it on the internet, so I must assume literally nobody have bought it..

>>52585428
On Windows, I personally use 7-zip because I want to stay the fuck away from WinRAR. But some archives (in rar format that is) doesn't extract properly with 7-zip, but works perfectly with WinRAR. It's fucking stupid, my guess is that they have some changed it up and have some sort of new proprietary compression method that only works with the WinRAR application.
7-Zip works with pretty much everything other than those extremely rare WinRAR-only .rar archives. I wish rar would die permanently, and soon.
>>52587439
Then use fileroller or something. Cli is faster though
>>52587439
>using a mouse on a unix like OS
Because it was literally invented for a teletype. GUIs are a productivity inhibitor. Stop being a fag and uninstall X server.
>>52587459
rarlabs open-sourced the decompressor (which is incorporated in 7zip... all files should extract.
>>52587439
Feels pretty good uninstalling terminal first thing i install Linux.

How about extract a bunch of files? Good luck right clicking each one
>>52588930
Thanks, you seem like an awful person irl.
i tried switching to 7zip recently but it was very slow extracting things and caused a weird bug where i couldn't click outside the open folder that contained the file i was extracting. i just pirate a licensed winrar with every fresh install now

No, using a CLI is the thing that makes me superior to all those Windows and OSX users who use an operating system to just accomplish everyday tasks.
CLI makes you enlightened.

>>52585831
Sigh. The good ol' days, when the first program you'd have to install was Winzip or Winrar because your warez were always compressed and Windows didn't know diddly about archives.

>>52585802
What the fuck are you even trying to say here?
>>52585831
The company I work for still pays for this. With most medium to large companies it's either winzip or winrar, and it's the same case for other kinds of software. If it's free as in freedom or free beer, they won't go near the things.
I guess they think it's worthless if it doesn't cost anything, for some reason, or they want paid support in case of a fuckup.
>>52586027
>Are most people THAT fucking dirt poor?
Are you mildly retarded? 7z has better compression, and the application is free. Why on earth would you pay for inferior software?
>>52586923
Just enable double panes and it's perfect.

I use AlZip because it's the only one that can open .egg archives. And I like the icon.
>>52593046
I installed winrar because it's a meme, and i downloaded the windows version because i wanted to test crossover.
>>52587378
It is the windows version running through crossover (see archive contents)
>>52587453
It's the windows version of winrar running through crossover
I used .sit and .sitx back in the day lol. Later on 7z.
Rar is okay but
>7z is open source
>rar is russian
>>52585428
I have both 7zip and WinRAR installed :^)
My only gripe with 7-zip (vs e.g. Winrar) is that it won't let me open images, text files in their default viewer (even Windows Picture Viewer) when double clicking them.
There's an open issue on this, it's linked to temp files being deleted way too early.
It's because of an autist who (rightfully) threw a tantrum because some confidential files weren't always properly removed from the temp folder.
Just use 7zip or peazip.

7z uses LZMA. It has better compression at the cost of apeed. This argument that its bette than winrar is retarded. In almost all cases its an agree to disagree situaion.
Can 7zip even preserve creation date?
>>52587279
Only with RAR5

I used WinACE, but then I switched to WinRAR
