Publisher's description
From RARLAB :WinRAR is a 32-bit Windows version of RAR Archiver, an archiver and archive manager. RAR files can usually compress content by 8 percent to 15 percent more than ZIP files can. WinRAR's main features include strong general and multimedia compression, the ability to process non-RAR archive formats, ZIP compression and decompression, support for long filenames, programmable self-extracting archives (SFX), repair of damaged archives, authenticity verification, embedded file comments, and encryption. Unicode is supported in archive filenames, allowing non-English filenames to be handled painlessly. You can manipulate the parameters of many archives at once and view a volume sequence as a single archive. WinRAR can convert other archive formats to RAR and search for specified text and files in archives.
WinRAR 3.5 supports interface themes and Windows x64 context menus.

Version: WinRAR 3.5
Pros: Very simple interface, options are easy to find and it all loads up quickly. Great range of compression options, and can work in background when working with big file sizes. Nice integration into the right click context menu with all files and folders from which you can quickly get up an options screen for compressing. A very well constructed, and functional program which is one of the best in it's category.
Cons: On larger amounts of files at best compression rating it can be a memory hog when working in the background.

Version: WinRAR 3.5
Pros: Never mind that $29 buys a Lifetime License. Never mind that the RAR format is both mature and stable (and allows for unlimited-sized archives). Never mind that it supports ZIP and 7z formats. Never mind that you can create SFX files, split and join archives, create multi-volume archives. And never mind that WinRAR is more popular in more countries around the world than any zip app, with WinRAR you get the best of both worlds.
