I'm just curious...do you or anyone you know ever bought WinRar? Cause I think every time somebody buys it, the developers have to open a bottle of champagne :P

I bought it. Worth every penny. I've never regretted my decision, either.

I have a commercial version through some disc I got with a magazine a few years ago. Does that count?

Nope I haven't bought it, but why do a lot of people use 7-Zip instead?

Why not? One more supported format, and free software (free beer, free speech) is always better than exploitable commercial shareware.

Is it the same thing, because I might as well get that if it is.

7zip have less functionality, have few bugs and 7z is significantly slower than RAR at same compression. but it's free.

Do you ever actually compress stuff? It seems to me that's it's mostly about packaging or splitting stuff, nowadays.

My question was about everyday usage, not about the capabilities of the software.

Well yes it's packaging and splitting stuff while compressing it.

Yes,i bought it even tough i am using 7-Zip.The dev team deserves some credit for the complex algoritms that are involved in winrar and the big ammount that you can compress with it,and honestly it's not that expensive.

7zip is just about the only way to go at this point.

yes, i bought it, and now i am compressing everything without being nagged. all my desktop is compressed into a neat "desktop shortcuts.RAR" file which takes up a lot less place on my hard drive. and don't get me started on "C:\windows.RAR"...

Winrar has a lot of good features, and one of them is adding recovery record. I'm not sure if any other archive programs have it, but I found it useful.

If you don't need those things, then don't buy it .Download some free ones like 7zip, peazip, etc. and no one can blame you for that :D

Edit: I got Winrar for free from give away of the day. Good site, man. Go for it if you guys are geeks (Or maybe not, lol).
