What are \'rar\' files and how do I open them?
I've noticed that some mod files are in the 'rar' format. How do you open them after downloading?
I used the 'search function but could not find anything even slightly helpful. Thanks in advance for any replies. |

They are compressed with the RAR algorithm, which gives much smaller archive files than ZIP does. WinRar will open them.

WinRAR is a great program. Far better than WinZip.

Oh yes, there are definitely free programs -- genuine 'free' not fake 'free' with the cost extracted in ad-hassles -- that handle .RAR files. Quickzip for example. I haven't bothered to compress any .RAR files with it so I don't know how it compares to the original in compression performance but it does extract them, and many other formats also.
