I found this website with the latest unrar
http://mirror.isp.net.au/ftp/pub/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/u/unrar-nonfree/

Wonder how can I add it to sources.list... thanks

That doesn't look like a standard apt-get repository. It's just a listing of deb files. To install them all you need to do is download the deb file you want and then in a terminal do:

cd <location where the file is located>
sudo dpkg -i <name of deb file>

Then after the deb file is installed you can uninstall it using synaptic or apt-get.

Also, the latest deb listed there is 3.4.3, which is already available in the ubuntu multiverse repository:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ breezy multiverse
