    Which part of the world is this, if you don’t mind me asking? (just genuinely curious, cause I haven’t come across any WinRARs in the wild here in NZ, most folks I know use either 7-Zip or PeaZip).

      Am in the US and used winrar for a long time as it was integrated into Usenet binaries as rar files. It was embedded with some other software.

        WinRAR was what I used in the 2000s. Around 2011, 7-zip was my goto. I haven’t looked back since.

        I wasn’t aware of pea-zip until this thread

      I’m from Europe, in the embrace of the Carpathian Mountains :)

      before WinRAR, people used WinZIP here in the '00s (at least Windows folks). Again, a strange choice, I know.
