DavidFields Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I feel weird about asking this, because I am maybe missing an obvious answer. When I want to download something from the Repository, it seems to be in .rar form, and when I want to get it I need to seem to pay $30 to get the translation. Is that right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that right? .rar is just another form of archiver like zip. Why are you thinking you have to pay $30? Everything in the repository is free. This will handle them and it is free. http://7-zip.org/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agusto Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 IIRC WinRar ocassionally asks users if they like to pay 30$ for the full version of WinRar. However you can just click "no" and continue the using the test version (wich is in fact a full version, the test version just asks you regularly if you want to "donate" 30$ to the makers of WinRar. That is the only difference AFAIK). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidFields Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 Thank you. That is correct agusto, the WinRAR message confused me (and, I am sure, others--so maybe this question was not in vain). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
