Hi guys, I was just wondering, as there is TONS of media I want out there that are .rar files. I download them, and try to open them, but it says "Invalid Menu Handle"

Is there something I can do to download .rar files? the .zip ones work fine...
Help appreciated!

Cheers,
Jared.

Yes, Winrar handles both .rar and .zip files. Most of the time the same file packed as a rar file is smaller than the same file packed as a zip so the .rar format is very popular.

Well worth getting Winrar.
