    Are you trying to use a disposable email address or an address with a + in it?

    Servers must really be getting jammed. Keep getting the "to many connections" error. O-well, I got allllllllllllllll night. Thanks for the heads-up on a great freebie.

    Was afraid of something like that. My e mail states you only get two trys. I`m on my 4th. just trying to get the page to load. Curious to see what happens.

    Well, I got it a while ago. The email came immediately, but had to keep trying the link provided (too many connections). Persistence is a virtue.
    The thing seems to have registered ok as far as I can tell, thanks for the heads up on this.

    It wasn't clear that what you eventually get from them, after going through all that, is just a small RAR with, essentially just the reg. code. Obviously they assume you already have Win-Rar.

    And the main win-rar.com page is down "due to technical problems" till the end of that 24-hour period. But you can get the download (make sure it's the right version, near the bottom) at rarlabs, I think it is.

    Free version or not, winrar can be used beyond its "40-day trial". No loss of functionality whatsoever. It just works like a permanent program, not trial mode.

    I think the latest is version 3.6 beta 8.

    What's this free version 3.51 all about?

    3.51 is the current production version. The rest of the story is in the first post.

    It took 15 mins for me to get it. The server must be very busy with too many connections error.

    I've been using WinRAR for ages and it's one of the best compression utilities ever.
    You'll be very pleased I'm sure ;)
