I HATE rar files Stamp

Description

I absolutely hate rar. files.

I can't tell you the number of times I went looking for something, such as a doujinshi or a set of photoshop brushes, or someone has uploaded something on a website I belong to and the download file is a rar. file.

And not only that but more often then not when I look for a download that's a zip all I find are rar. versions.

Now why exactly do I hate rar. files you might ask?

THEY NEVER OPEN! Not once have I been able to open a rar. file.

WinRAR or anything else that's suppose to open rar. files never work...unless rar. files are suppose to take days to open. I once decided I'd leave my computer on until the rar. file I wanted to open with WinRAR opened. I left WinRAR to open a file that had some photoshop brushes I wanted and even after THREE DAYS it wasn't open...and the file wasn't even that big!

I don't care if rar. files hold more stuff whats the point if you can't even GET to whats in the file?! I don't care if I have to download ten zip. folders instead of a single rar. file at least I'll be able to open the zip. folders!

And I'm not the only person who this has happened to. I've met plenty of people who either just can't get the rar. to open...or they manage to and its either extracted the wrong way or its protected by a password and the person who put the download up didn't post the passwords and the post is already old so you can't get in touch with the original poster of the download...I wouldn't know about either as I have yet to get to that point if any of the doujinshi I've come across that were in rar. were password locked.

Just today I saw these cute One Piece Shimeji (They are images of characters that walk around your computer screen and you can interact with them to a degree) and wanted to download the ones of Luffy and 2YL Zoro...and every single one of them even for the characters I didn't want were in rar. and rar. only as I looked for a zip. for them...its always something I really like...

If you ever send something to me as a download...PLEASE don't make it a rar. I can't open them no matter what I do or how much I fiddle with WinRAR or another program used to open rar. files they never open.
