    "Par-N-Rawr!!"

    January 2, 2012  |   By Stones222

    Version: Par-N-Rar 1.24

    Pros

    Warp speed! 1-2-3 simple steps opening the flood gates for less computer savvy audiences.

    Cons

    Just need to add more features (eg.repair) and bit of programming TLC and you got a top notch product.

    Summary

    Very useful if used with QuickPar for the repair and Par-N-Rar for the extraction.

    "A very simple dumy proof substitute for QuickPar."

    November 13, 2010  |   By bryan762

    Version: Par-N-Rar 1.24

    Pros

    Being a newbie to pay for service NZB high-speed downloading and the relationships & functions behind a downloads associated PAR files this program completes the task of verifying said files with out the how's, why's and ware fors. DOWNLOAD COMPLETE.

    Cons

    No cons that any newbie could readily recognize. Though a more experienced user could no doubt take issue with the "simplicity" of this program the UI precludes finding any "obvious" faults.

    Summary

    The products features and options are extremely spartan. Limited to choice of directory to monitor for PAR files, extract too, and move non-rar to choice of directory. Deletes compressed files when done and move to recycle bin option. Also checks sub-folders of monitored directory. You can set resource use from priority to low level background ops. Minimizes to system tray and one or two other options. Very Spartan. But so easy to use it's ridiculous.

    "Lame. look elsewhere"

    September 7, 2010  |   By terryrpw

    Version: Par-N-Rar 1.24

    Pros

    Its free but its just not worth it

    Cons

    Error reporting too vague. After proecesing 1 multiple RAR zip set which #38 was bad, it displays "extracting" for a long while, then the ubitiquous message "Can Not extract"....no reason, no explanation, nothing

    Summary

    This program needs a lot of work before it should be offered. The reason its free is because its pretty useless

    "nothing special"

    August 27, 2010  |   By grifoo16

    Version: Par-N-Rar 1.24

    Pros

    unpacks as other similar apps do and sometimes let you see content of rar file which it can't open

    Cons

    Doesn't repair RAR.. Occasional glimpses of unopened parts of file are useful but it's not enough

    Summary

    Opens well, repairs bad.

    "Great utility. Better than priced ones."

    December 22, 2008  |   By jaredzusmc

    Version: Par-N-Rar 1.24

    Pros

    Easy. User interface friendly. Does not hog up CPU usage, and in my opinion, better than QuickPar.

    Cons

    Not very many options or customizations available. But Pros greatly out weigh any cons.

    Summary

    Great. Reliable, FREE, Environment friendly, Bio-degradable, does not crash as other similar apps. do.
