    It's a compression format similar to ZIP. Download WinRAR here: http://www.rarlab.com/

  3. Use Winrar. It is a freeware program. Rar is only another method of
    compression.

  4. A "rar" file isjust another method of compression, like "zip". You can
    use a program called Winrar, it is a free download on winrar.com.
