rar files are like zip files.

Whereas zip files can be unpacked with Winzip, rar files need to be unpacked with a similar program like WinRar or WinAce.

Also winrar offers higher compression, great for multimedia files such as addons.

The packers should however take the required 5 seconds to make it a self executable rar file. This saves any hassle.


Just double click click it and away she goes.
