Obviously, we’d all love to have everything for free, but it’s just not realistic. And $29 a pop isn’t that bad when you consider the alternative is losing access to all of those files forever. I just try not to use my .rar files too much, because it does add up.
I have no clue why my computer is inefficient with 7z, but I did my own benchmarking and realized the compressing and uncompressing speeds between 7z and rar were night and day. Ie. To extract 4gb, for winrar it took around 6 seconds. For 7z, it was around 30.
