Hi Cult.

I have concerns over your thread.

The fact you're asking how to unpack a rar file tells me you haven't packed it yourself.

Which means it's either a file share between you and a friend (in which case why pack using winrar in the first place?) or it's a download.

No legal download site pack's it's file's using winrar simply because it isn't the most efficient way.

Rar downloads are used on torrent sites because it means any leechers of a file have to download the whole file for it to work (pushing the seeder's ratio higher).

If it's a file-share, then the size "over 4gb" tells me it's a direct rip of a dvd or some albums or even software. In this case this is also illegal as it's file sharing copyrighted content. Even ripping for your own use is rather a grey area.

Therefore I'm locking this thread.

I have stated previously though that if you can prove to our satisfaction that a particular thread's content is of the legal variety we will of course unlock said thread.

As you can't pm yet feel free to post in the Community News and Chat forum, entitle your thread "Mods please read"

I await your reply.
