Your latest launcher is in rar format and well I no way to unzip it it seems what do I need to download? I tried searching here but bad links on most.
Please excuse my ignorance.

but winRar is gay, I mean, just listen to the file extention 'rar' it's like a homosexual tiger or... something.

I hate rar, it's compression is only like what 10% better than zip, and this is a reason to go out of my way to get the softwere (wich I hate) why? I have broud band, an extra 400k is like an extra 23 milliseconds, if people must use rar why can't they at least have the desency to put it in a self extracting one

Well, I tend to find that anyone using the Internet moderately heavily will probs need both anyway, so it doesn't bother me :)

Because people have an inherent distrust of exes on the internet.

It's only a hell of a lot better than winzip.

I find RAR better than ZIP most days.  Its a bit smaller and virtually the same in every other way...so yeah :)
