Advantages: Allows quick and easy extraction of downlaoded files from the internet.

Disadvantages: It is quite expensive considering the limited features.

WinRar really is a fabulous little piece of software that is a must have for any frequent downloader. WinRar is a powerful archiver manager and it allows you to save and compress files into much smaller file sizes. The software also allows you to extract Winzip files amongst many other files types. The main benefits of this software is that files can be compressed and then stored so that they take up less space than they would otherwise. It also means that if you were to send a compressed file by WinRar file as an email it would take less time to download because it is a smaller file size, making it one useful piece of kit!

The main file types it supports are the very common ZIP and RAR file format which are used extensivly across the internet for file dowloads. On the website you can either get a free trial download which literally takes seconds to download and install or buy the full version. By buying the full version you have to pay 30 euro's. The software regularly has frequent updates made as shown by the many different WinRar programs available. I also found the extraction to be very quick which is a big advantage I found of using this software.

The software itself runs really well on both XP and on Vista and I found it really quick and easy to install. I have also found it to be very reliable and it has always done exactly what I have wanted it to. I would really recommend trying the free trial first which can be downloaded from the website for free. If you find yourself using it a lot and the trial version runs out I would then really recommend buying it for a relatively cheap price. It really is one useful piece of kit that I find myself using all the time! I hope this was useful and thank you very much for reading this.

Summary: An excellent piece of software that I would really recommend trying!
