New in version 5.80 Final

Option "Do not change the last access time of source files" on the tab
"Time" in the archiving window allows you to save the last access time
for archived files.

2. You can save the last access time for archived files using
switch -tsp on the command line. It is allowed to combine it with other keys
-ts, for example: rar a -tsc -tsp archive files

3. It is allowed to combine several modifiers in the same -ts switch.
For example, you can use -tscap instead of -tsc -tsa -tsp.

4. WinRAR can read default values ​​for command line switches from
text file rar.ini, which can be located either in the folder with the file
WinRAR.exe, or in the %APPDATA%\WinRAR folder. This file includes the lines in
following format:

Switches=
switches_=

The options on the first line apply to all commands, and the options on the second line apply
to individual teams.
Example:

Switches=-m5 -s
switches_x=-o+

Most of the keys specified in rar.ini are used only in the mode
command line. Some keys can also be used in mode
graphical shell, and in command line mode. Previously this format
rar.ini was only supported by the console version of RAR.

5. The -agf switch on the command line sets the standard
format string for the -ag switch. It makes practical sense only when
placing it in the rar.ini configuration file or in a variable
RAR environment.
For example, if you set -agfYYYY-MMM-DD in the RAR environment variable, then when
specifying the -ag switch without a parameter will imply formatting
string YYYY-MMM-DD.

6. The -ed and -e+d switches can be used in archive processing commands for
any combination of RAR and operating systems in which the archive was created.
Previous versions of RAR for Windows could not use them for RAR archives,
created in UNIX, and RAR for UNIX - for RAR archives created in Windows.

7. Previously, the "Test" command could not check the integrity of archived
alternative NTFS data streams and issued a warning
"Unknown data header format" if the size of such a stream
exceeded 16 MB. Now there is no such restriction.

8. Increased processing speed of large alternative NTFS data streams
on multi-core processors.

9. "Search" command:

A) earlier when retrieving files directly from the search results window
a password was requested for each file found, even if all files
belonged to the same archive.

Now the password is requested only once per archive;

B) the Ctrl+A key selects all files in the search results window.

10. Archive comment window:

A) previous versions did not allow closing WinRAR using the Ctrl+W keys,
if the keyboard input focus was in the comment window.
Now the Ctrl+W combination works from the comment window;

B) the mouse wheel is also supported for comments with
ANSI escape sequences;

B) for some long comments with ANSI escape sequences
the last line of the comment was only partially visible even with
scroll to the very bottom. Now it is fully displayed.

11. The maximum path length for files in 7z archives has been increased to 2048 characters.
Previous versions already supported such long paths in RAR and
ZIP files, but in 7z archives they were limited to 260 characters.

12. If the name of the archive or file is too long and does not fit in the progress window
archiving or retrieving, it is truncated. Previously such names
were truncated at the end, making the file extension invisible. Now
truncation removes the path component and the characters in the middle, and the beginning
The file name and extension are saved.

13. If the files selected for archiving differ only in extensions,
then the suggested archive name is based on their name part. For example,
if you select the files Readme.txt and Readme.doc, then in the archiving window
the archive name Readme.rar will be suggested.

Previous versions always generated the archive name from the name of the parent
folders if multiple files were selected.

14. In .tar archives in the "Type" column for entries with symbolic and hard
The links display "Symbolic link" and "Hard link". Previous versions
only displayed the correct type for such entries in RAR archives.

15. The operation of copying and pasting files from large archives could
fail if retrieval takes a long time. This
version is also capable of inserting files from such archives, but to
to achieve this, I had to start the extraction with the copy command,
and not from the insert.

• (Russian site)

New in version 5.80 build 78 (Android) (29.11.2019):

• Fixed a bug where extraction could hang indefinitely when unpacking some damaged ARJ archives and damaged ZIP archives with the BZIP2 compression algorithm.

The most common problem that prevents users from opening this file is an incorrectly assigned program.

To fix this in Windows OS, you need to right-click on the file, in the context menu, hover the mouse over the “Open with” item, and select “Select a program...” from the drop-down menu. As a result, you will see a list of installed programs on your computer, and you can select the appropriate one. We also recommend checking the box next to “Use this application for all RAR files.”

• Another problem that our users also encounter quite often is that the RAR file is corrupted.
• This situation can arise in many cases. For example: the file was downloaded incompletely as a result of a server error, the file was damaged initially, etc. To resolve this problem, use one of the recommendations:

Try finding the file you need in another source on the Internet. You may have luck finding a more suitable version. Example Google search: "File filetype:RAR" . Just replace the word "file" with the name you want;

Ask them to send you the original file again, it may have been damaged during transmission;

The main activity of WinRAR is packaging files, groups of files and folders with attachments into RAR 4 and 5 archives, as well as ZIP, quickly and with strong compression. It is also important to unpack RAR, ARJ, 7Z, CAB, ISO, LZH, TAR, 7-ZIP, Z, ZIP files, regular and divided into parts, and formats of other popular archivers. It is possible to collapse self-extracting (SFX) and multi-volume archives of the required size, archives encrypted using the AES-256 algorithm with a password, excluding and including data in the archive, restoring damaged archives, checking for viruses and other malicious software. SFX archives can be equipped with a GUI and script-type commands for programming the unpacking process, for example, when installing programs or games. Additional information is used to reconstruct the archive. Such data will allow you to restore both a regular broken one and a multi-volume one in the absence of entire volumes. Additional information is also added to speed up unpacking. You will need to download WinRAR for free to work with an almost unlimited number and size of files and a significant number of formats. The program downloads quickly and is easy to install, and can be integrated into the Windows Explorer context menu for accelerated access to basic functions and working with archives without launching the program.

Why it wouldn’t hurt to download an archiver for Windows

Sometimes you need to download a program, game, or e-book. Often they are compressed into an archive, which cannot be opened using standard means. This is especially true when a new Windows 7, 8.1 or 10 operating system has just been installed on your computer and is not yet fully equipped with software. In this case, the first thing you need to do after installing the Windows operating system is to download WinRAR for Windows 7, 8.1, 10. WinRAR will not take up much space on your computer and will quickly deploy any of the popular formats, even if the archive is damaged. If necessary, VinRAR will quickly and efficiently archive a file, several files or folders with files into an archive file RAR 4 or 5, or ZIP, and create a self-extracting SFX, multi-volume or password-protected archive. Advanced users also take advantage of other advanced functionality of the WinRAR archiver, which will be discussed below.

A brief history of the WinRAR archiver and the RAR format

WinRAR was created during the time of Windows 3.x, running on an operating system without a graphical shell, MS-DOS 3.1 or higher. The name is made up of the words Windows and Roshal ARchive. One letter is taken from the surname of the creator, Chelyabinsk resident Eugene Roshal. In addition to WinRAR, Evgeniy is the author of the popular file manager FAR Manager.

The RAR and UNRAR utilities for MS-DOS appeared at the end of 1993. In 2009, a more powerful 64-bit version of the program was released for Windows 64-bit with WinRAR 3.90. In 2011, from version 4.00, Windows 95, 98, ME and NT are not supported. In 2013, from version 5.00, the new RAR5 format is supported.

For those who use outdated versions that do not support the new RAR5 format, it will not hurt to download the latest version of VinRAR for free in Russian for Windows. The latest RAR5 has little in common with RAR4, although it uses the RAR extension. If you download the Russian version of WinRAR 5 for free, the archiver will be able to open and pack RAR4 and RAR5, but outdated ones do not understand RAR5. The fifth PAP allows you to comment on archives, but commenting on individual files is not available, there is no support for digital signatures, experimental technologies for text and multimedia compression. The dictionary size varies from 1 MB to 1 GB (for Win x32 - from 1 to 256 MB), 32 MB is preinstalled. Multi-volume files have file names name.partNN.rar, instead of name.rNN. Instead of the outdated AES-128, AES-256 is used. When monitoring integrity, a 256-bit BLAKE2sp hash, NTFS strict and symbolic links are used. The length of file names and paths has increased to 2048 characters for both RAR and ZIP. Added support for split 7Z, as well as ZIP and ZIPX with B ZIP 2, PP Md and L Z M A compression.

WinRAR interface

The WinRAR interface is designed in a classic style and will not raise any questions for most users who decide to download the WinRAR utility for Windows for free and install it on their computer, laptop, netbook or mobile phone. If questions still arise, you can refer to the built-in help. Some users prefer to use the built-in wizard assistant in step-by-step mode. The appearance of the interface can be changed by downloading and installing any theme (skin) you like. Support for about fifty language localizations, including Russian, allows you to work with archives in a software interface in your native language. The ability to download VinRAR for free in Russian on the page of this material on the site eliminates the need to translate menus, windows and settings. After downloading and installing the archiver on your computer, you can immediately start working, without spending time learning the capabilities and settings and translating the interface.

Here you can download the WinRAR archiver for free with the ability to integrate it into the operating system. Integration into Windows Explorer is convenient for those who do not want to waste time on routine operations. When you click the mouse in the Explorer window, a menu appears, using which you can collapse the archive or extract the contents to the current or specified folder. In the context menu, the following are available: automatic and manual unpacking and packaging, as well as packaging with sending by e-mail. Hotkey combinations allow you to speed up routine operations. Unfortunately, there are no scripts or macros for batch processing.

Functionality

WinRAR is characterized by high performance and powerful functionality for collapsing and managing archives. In particular, the archiver works with a variety of current data compression formats of almost unlimited size, modern encryption, protection and recovery technologies. According to reviews and comments on specialized sites and forums, the following functionality of the VinRAR archiver is especially in demand on social networks VK, Ok, Fb, G+ and others:

Features of free use

WinRAR is shareware software distributed under the Shareware license. This means that 40 days from the moment the user decided to download WinRAR in Russian for free, downloaded and installed it on the PC, the program runs in a normal, fully functional mode for review, and after this period it will begin to display a message about the need to purchase a paid license from RARLab . At the end of the trial period, the functionality is not reduced, and offers to purchase a license are not intrusive, so those who do not have the opportunity to purchase VinRAR continue to use the archiver as is. Others either buy a license or can download a free archiver in Russian from another developer, for example, 7Zip, PeaZip, Bandizip, HaoZip. Mobile RAR for Android is available freely under a Freeware license.

Correlation of bit depth between OS and WinRAR

Without further delay, we recommend downloading the latest version of WinRAR for free for Windows XP SP 3, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10 (32-bit and 64-bit). It is advisable to do this, since the new version of WinRAR works faster than the previous one, the compression ratio has been increased, and work with archives has been improved. If it is not clear which WinRAR to download: x64 or x32 bit version, download the program of the same bit size as the Windows OS installed on your computer. This way the program will show its maximum performance. The archiver is distributed in the form of two WinRAR files x32 and x64, for installation on a computer with 32- or 64-bit Windows. To find out the Windows bit rate, you need to go to the “Control Panel” through the “Start” button and find the “System type” line in the “System” section. Based on the information received, you should download WinRAR 64-bit or 32-bit for free, depending on the type of operating system Microsoft Windows XP SP 3, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10 (64-bit or 32-bit).

During the installation process, WinRAR does not offer to install additional software, change the browser start page or other advertising offers. At the end of the installation, the installer will offer to associate supported files with VinRAR and integrate its functionality into the Windows Explorer context menu.

The WinRAR archiver has versions for different operating systems, including Windows. Here you can download WinRAR for Windows 10, 8, 7 and XP for free, in Russian, its latest version. We recommend that you visit us often to be the first to know about the release of a new version of the archiver (since it does not have an update function).

When installing WinRAR on Windows, you will be prompted to add archiving commands to the Explorer context menu. This is a very convenient function with which you can pack and extract files from an archive simply by right-clicking on it and selecting the appropriate command.

Since Windows is a “windowed” OS, it would be logical to make it possible to unzip and create an archive by simply dragging it into the archiver window. Developers also think so, which is why this feature is present in VinRAR.

WinRAR on Windows 10 (and earlier versions of this operating system) can become your assistant in keeping personal files and folders confidential. The archiver has a function for creating an archive with a password, which is almost impossible to crack (if it is of sufficient length and complexity, of course). In such archives you can not only store, but also send information without fear that it will fall into the wrong hands.

Note: WinRAR also supports command line operation. Using Windows Task Scheduler, you can schedule certain commands to run on a schedule. For example, you can configure the creation of an archive from certain folders and saving them to another drive, thus implementing the file backup function.

Supported archive formats

• packages in ZIP, RAR and RAR5;
• unpacks RAR, RAR5, ZIP, ZIPX, 7z, ACE, ARJ, bz2, CAB, GZ, ISO, JAR, LZH, TAR, UUE, XZ, Z.

Note: The format in which you want to pack the archive is selected during its creation.

Among the features of the WinRAR program for Windows 10 I would also like to note the function of creating archives, for unpacking which an archiver is not required. Such archives are saved with the extension “.exe” and run as programs, prompting users to unzip their contents into a folder.

Other features of WinRAR

• dividing the created archive into parts (you can store them in a separate place, thereby ensuring data protection);
• selecting the compression level (turn off the compression level completely if you just want to protect the files with a password or split them into parts without compressing them);
• protection of created archives from damage using separately created recovery volumes;
• search for files and folders in archives;
• checking the archive for viruses through the Vin RAR menu by selecting the antivirus installed on your computer;
• adding your comments to the archives;
• change the appearance using downloadable themes.

Advantages

• high archiving speed and stable operation;
• for novice users there is a Wizard Assistant that makes it easier to use WinRAR;
• integration of archiving commands into Explorer.

Are there any disadvantages?

• There is no automatic update function inherent in many programs on Windows OS.
