Windows Commander 5.0 is simply the best and much much faster than any other archiver proggram. except he can`t extract Winrar 3.0 because Windows Commander 5.0 is on before WinRar 3.0 is released. All of you who didn`t try Wincmd I can just say: "You don`t know what you are missing" 50% of your unzipping, unrar-ing time will be saved!! Read his manual and you will find all you need. I also using UnRar.exe from Winrar 3.0 WHY ??? If you download 10 ISO-s / movies per day RAR-ed you probbably find when unpacking files with Winrar sometimes some archives is "CRC bad" !!! But it`s in very very little perchance, but it happend. With UnRar.exe you don`t get that CRC bad and ofcourse sfv check is correct !! It`s very easy in Windows commander to type unrar x blablabla.rar (Ctrl+Enter) C:\xxx(Ctrl+P) on other side !! that is done in less than 2 seconds! When Unrar finish his job you have right files in right places !! Unrar.exe is 32bit programm that is made special for "command line" users and it`s FASTEST FREE unpacker for RAR! I don`t need winrar because i only download, unzipping is with wincmd Unrar-ing is with Unrar..
Bye bye.....
 
I'm with Joripe on this - WinRAR handles (nearly) all archives I need to access and has not let me down - yet.

Admittedly, Power Archiver is much prettier interface but it has failed on occasions on very large archives (usually above 400Mb).

You`r right for that. I have put winrar for Command line since 3.0 was released and it`s working, but like I say before Winrar sometimes have CRC errors. If you did`t notified before, I using unrar.exe for unpacking..
