Winrar 5.40

It is the main utility to use when archiving RAR and ZIP files while it supports such formats as RAR, ZIP, CAB, ARJ, LZH, ACE, TAR, GZip, UUE, ISO, BZIP2, Z and 7-Zip when extracting files. The program uses a multithreaded engine to compact files and does so without any quality loss in data, audio or video files.

Use the program to create multi volume archives, self extracting archives, almost unlimited file size support as well as a 2048 character file path support.
