Of course if I need to go get them first then Im not sure there is an advantage other than to say "well you might as well since you will need them for other things" but I havent really seen the option come up often enough to feel unfanatical in making that recommendation to someone that doesnt have them yet.

Downloading winRAR plus the RAR version of any imagemodpack (except the combat pack of course) is less than downloading the ZIP version.
All 3 P&N starfury campaigns RARed are 10% smaller than just one campaign ZIPped.
The numbers are there. Anyone with a slow connection will save gobs of time. With a fast connection, its not so important, but RAR even does zip files better than winZIP and with less bloat to boot.

Next time you go to install winZip, just get winRAR instead. You'll never miss it.
