I think with this version if you rar something make sure you select rar not rar5 (if the person you send it to has rar 4.x). Since the 2 aren't compatible with each other, and the person (who's using rar 4.x) wont be able to open it. It'll say it's corrupt (it wont be). If you select rar5 to compress whatever, the other person MUST have rar 5.x to open it

1352783 2013-09-05 14:23:00 Agreed, I still use WinRAR after all these years. Thankfully it defaults to .rar, but .zip and .rar5 are easily selected from the menu when compressing something :)

New v5 doesn't seem to have that "nag" screen either that pops up every time you open up a compressed file?
