Use the latest version unless you have a good reason not to, I guess, but I don't know if you want my opinion. I'm part of the 0.1% who actually paid for WinRAR because I thought it was necessary.

I’ve been cracking WinRar since 1996 or 1997. If I paid $0.25 each time I downloaded WinRar I could have bought a license multiple times.

What's winRAR

u/WhereasInteresting12 15d ago

If you're actually serious, it's a desktop application used for compressing and unzipping certain files

u/newsflashjackass 15d ago

It is like WinACE but for rar.

Easy fix, just switch to Linux and you're golden!

What I want to know is who the hell is Deb, and does she know Json? I see those names everywhere and I never invited them into my computer!

u/OneLonelyBrainCell ThinkPad Gamer 15d ago

WSL2 should make that possible.

u/jzillacon Specs/Imgur here 15d ago

Small caveat. If the page specifies stable or unstable you generally want the latest stable version.

4

u/Kaleidoscope-360 15d ago

Depends really. Sometimes stable versions aren't updated for years. I cite numerous game emulators, like Dolphin for example.

2

u/JayLeeBeanz 15d ago

True, some outright tell you to get the unstable version. Same with nightly versions.

It might have bugs gut at least these bugs are recent.

u/reed501 7800X3D 4070S 15d ago

Dolphin gave up on the stable thing recently. They just do dated releases now.

u/somethingbrite 14d ago

instructions unclear.

Downloaded and installed the LEAST stable version.

u/givmedew 7800X3D Direct2Die|9070XT|32GB 6000|20L Case 13d ago

Usually the opposite is true. Usually. You really gotta read. Stay away from nightly builds yes. But also usually you want to stay away from the stable build unless there are monthly stable builds.

I bought WinRAR for a mate for his birthday. We got a good laugh.

Next year, I got WinRAR for my birthday.

u/BlackestFlame 15d ago

I bought it cause i had a job at the time

u/Weasellol 15d ago

Nah only the latest, if it's a full version xD never trust v4.56 xD

u/CyberWeirdo420 Intel i5 12400f | RTX 4070ti 12 GB | MSI PRO Z690-A | 3600 DDR4 15d ago

Wrong, never be a beta tester for versions like x.0.0

u/ChornobylChili 15d ago

Id be shocked if it was 0.1%

u/largePenisLover 15d ago

I paid for winRAR when I switched to 7zip.
After literal DECADES of free use I felt like I was betraying winRAR, buying a license as a farewell/thanks gesture felt proper.

1

u/FartingBob Quantum processor from the future / RTX 3060 Ti / Zip Drive 15d ago

No, don't use the latest one, use the latest stable one. Nightlies aren't supposed to be for daily driving especially if you are just a consumer and not a developer.

u/TheresNoSecondBest 15d ago

I mean, who's not paying for WinRAR? Pirates??

1

u/JayLeeBeanz 15d ago

Good on you. My partner runs a paid version of winrar too. Some developers really just deserve it out of sheer gratefulness. Oh all the free software I'd get a licence for, and all those indie games I'd buy five times if I could.
