RAR files

[gothung211]

Hello all
I am pretty new to downloading in that i have never used RAR files before. I tried downloading a frog program that supposedly opens RAR files but it didnt work out. Any suggestions or directions where to get a program for this ?
And i am not the most computer literate guy in the world either, so make it easy if you could, lol.
Thanks for your time and patience.

Hello gothung211!
Try winrar first. It should open the files

http://win-rar.com/downloadnow.html

(Actually it extracts the file to a directory. You can open the video or picture files with an other prog)

"How to Extract RAR Files?

Right click on the .rar file you want to extract, which will open up a new window with a list of options. You can select a location for extracting the file by clicking on 'extract to' or use the same location by clicking on the 'extract here' option. Multiple RAR files can be extracted by highlighting all the files that need to be extracted. The procedure following is the same as that for a single file. If the first file is being repeated, it would prompt you with a query for replacement. Click on 'yes' and complete the extraction procedure."

Yeah, I used winrar to open up any rar files I downloaded. You can only use it for about a month though for free.

7Zip is a great FREE alternative for rar and many other compression formats. As long as you don't need to create rar files, this is a great program to use.

It can be found here...

Dl'ing an "extended" copy of WinRAR is no more difficult than dl'ing a porn clip. Google is your friend.

the other option that i now use is to use jdownloader which if you download a rar file or several files it will extract them for you so you do not need another program to do it
