    For anyone having trouble using the normal link...

    I was having problems connecting to the site through the initial URL, so I tried something and it worked for me! I connected to the HTTPS version ... https://www.win-rar.com/bestoverallutility

    I also had to manually add the S into the URL they emailed me - so if they email you http://www.win-rar.com/bestoverallutility/download.php?id=something, you would use https://www.win-rar.com/bestoverallutility/download.php?id=something

    I can confirm this also worked for myself and others earlier today and as far as I can tell is still working now.

    HTH,

    Well my downloads failed at both attempts so now I just get a message saying "Your data has already been used to download the free WinRAR key!" :wall:

    Oh well, I guess I'll just stick with the unregistered version I've been using for the past 7 years !! :p
