dadamssg Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I cant figure out how to uncompress a magpie rss feed file! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Uh, there's a lot of free software that unzips tar files.... If it's an RSS feed, tar wouldn't make sense by the way.... tar would be pointless for 1 file. Anyway, things like tar, gzip (I think), 7zip and Winrar (trial, but when it expires you can still use it) can all extract rar files.

MadTechie Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Yeah..Great product....(not), slower than WinRAR & Zip7, with a lower compression radio! faster than KGB (but everthing is but KGB's compression is cool but due to the time it takes i rarely use it) I just installed the latest version, opened an ISO, it only showed 1 file and failed to extract So i tried the same ISO with WinRAR (works as always) Zipgenius has been out for about 4 years, i'll admit it has its use's but WinRAR is a staple in my book [attachment deleted by admin] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
448191 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 1. Open up a console 2. Type tar -xzf file.tar.gz Oh, wait, on WINDOWS? Ok, I'm sorry, lets try again.. 1. Open up the webs nemesis (IE). 2. Go to a Linux distro download page (Ubuntu, SuSE, Fedora, Slackware, whatever) 3. Burn the ISO to a CD (or DVD) 4. Restart your computer and boot from the CD 5. Follow the installation instructions. Unless you have important data (not just porn) on your HD not backed up somewhere (slap yourself for being stupid), get rid of any NTFS partitions. 6. Login with details configured during installation 7. Take a moment to gloat a little 8. Open a console 9. Type tar -xzf file.tar.gz TADA!
