WinRAR? Why?

Any reason why we have skins and other user files zipped with WinRAR on the ED website? Why not filter it so that only zip is allowed? I don't understand why people archive their stuff with 3rd party software when windows does it for free with a simple .zip file.

 

I dream of a PC without the need for WinRAR...:pilotfly:

7-Zip handles .rar files.

 

Every now and then Rarlabs release changes that break compatibility, and you need to get WinRAR to open file until 7-Zip gets update.

 

Annoying.... Why no one should use RAR.

Nice HC_Official!

 

Does anyone actually buy WinRAR? Or do we all just continually close the window in perpetuity? The only reason I have the free trial is to view archives uploaded in the ED user files.

 

Again, please, ED, put a filter in the user files to block RAR uploads. It's just an unnecessary nuissance.
