Note that the times (midnight to midnight, Sunday) are CET, which is GMT (UT?) +1.  For EDT (Eastern Canada and US), where I am, that works out to 7 PM Saturday till 7 PM Sunday, and you can do your own time-zone conversions from there.

Which makes it 5PM Mountain Time Sat.

Mine came thru OK quite quickly, once I managed to get in (no mean feat, all kinds of error messages).

Incidentally, what you eventually get from them is a RAR with the reg. code only - they assume you already have Win-Rar.  And note that the regular win-rar.com site is down "due to technical problems" for the same period -- you can get the download (make sure it's 3.51) from rarlabs, I think it is.

Thanks anbu,

Worked lika a charm.
I had to go to http://www.rarlab.com/ to download 3.51, and put the rareg.txt file changed to .key into folder.  When I did that I found that the file was already there. 
When downloading from rarlab, is it already free with registration code?
There was no way that I could connect to win-rar.com site.  They must be very busy.
I love freebies. 8) 8)
