parlancewriting Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Rar files are a common compressed format. Fiverr encourages their use for multiple files, so I wouldn’t blame the seller for using them. You could just ask the seller to send you the files individually if it’s not too much hassle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
designhero Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 download 7-zip. It can extract a rar file. search it on google. I’ve been using them since they released it =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solow13 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Winrar for windows or unrarx for mac,both free.😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedweb123 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 WinRar unpacks as well. It says “Free trial”, but that trial never actually runs out and the product is always free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryangillam Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I always assumed everybody knew how to unzip RAR files, but then suddenly about 30% of my customers came back saying they didn’t know how. Back then you couldn’t attach multiple files to an order, it sucked 😦 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedweb123 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I always provide zip files as well (if applicable), the built in windows file opener does help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesosix Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 The beauty of Open office is you can save as both odt and doc. I generally find working on Open Office is great, but always save any documents as .doc or pdf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedweb123 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Open Office is great - because it’s free. The only issue being the file type ODT - if you do not know about Open Office, you’d probably be very stumped on how to open it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanito89 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 you can find lots of versions of winrar or winzip, or you could use 7zip. i always ask my buyers to provide me the material in a rar archive, and many times i deliver my work in an archive. it`s safer and faster this way… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s_sayan Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I definitely use only Zip files to deliver my orders. Since the beginning I assumed people could have trouble with Rar files, but because Zip files are naturally supported by Windows, then I’ve always used Zip files. 😉Best Of Luck.
