Version: WinRAR 3.71
"Opens faster than WinZip and saves you space!"
Pros: WinRAR's compression ratio is about 1/2 of WinZip's, so if you archieve a lot of files it will save you space on your hard drive. It also unzips files faster than the other zip programs on the market. More and more downloaded files are RAR today, than in the past, and I would be lost without WinRAR. Try it, it comes with a free trial! 5 Stars and Two thumbs Up!

Version: WinRAR 3.71
Pros: WinRAR has such an easy interface, and extracts quite an amount of file types. Very small in size, had it for years, hasn't crashed on me once, and it looks pretty nice (no bumpy ugly icons, etc.) I had it installed for a while, and even though it says it's not "free", it pretty much is. If you use it, and this window comes out asking you to enter key, you can just click "close" and continue using it, unless I am missing out on something. I always prefer this out of WinZIp.
Cons: Thankfully, this protect hasn't let me down yet. I'm glad I found no cons in this product! :)

Version: WinRAR 3.71
Pros: Easy to use, quick and light on resources, its a must have program, for anyone who downloads a reasonable amount of files. With capabilities to pack files into numerous compressed formats, it makes it a near perfect program.
Cons: The only way i can see that this program could be improved is if it could also write .ISO files to disks, as that would be immensely useful for people who use torrents to download programs.

Version: WinRAR 3.71
Pros: I run a website and the CMS I use has updates, themes, modules and stuff in .tar. Windows can't unpack that by itself. I've been using WinRAR for the last two years without any issues.
It packs and unpacks very well and in all different compressions.
Cons: There used to be an annoying screen telling me to register, but since I started using the right click extraction, it has not come to haunt me.
