WinRAR is a fast and easy to use utility that can compress and extract RAR and ZIP files. Many of the files you download are in RAR format so installing WinRAR is a good choice.
Using WinRAR you can extract RAR files but also add new files and edit the contents of existing RAR files. This makes it easy to keep compressed copies of files and save space on your computer and when you upload files online.
Features
WinRAR includes many options for creating RAR files, but these are the most interesting:
Compression settings - create files quickly using the Store option, or create tiny files using the maximum compression setting. Sometimes you just want to group files together into one sharable file so the Store option is perfect.
Split - for very large files you can split the RAR into several pieces. This makes it easier for other people to download files over a slow internet connection, without the risk of disconnecting in the middle of a download.
Set password - protect your RAR files with a password. Only people who know the password will be able to extract the contents.
Edit files directly - you can even edit files using WinRAR without extracting them first. When you save the file, WinRAR will ask if you want to update the archive. This saves a lot of time when you want to make small changes to text files or documents inside a RAR file.
Windows context menu - WinRAR creates a new Windows menu (right click). This means you can right click any file and create a new RAR file.
