hey guys, i searched a bit and didnt find a solution for my problem.
When I download a torrent and itś separated in .rar files file manager says that It doesnt support that type of file, so then i added 7zip, but after installing there is no 7zip, or choice to use it.:confused:
Im using ubuntu 9.04

thanks

If you are wanting to extract rar's you can install unrar and extract them using the terminal (Applications>Accessories>Terminal)

sudo apt-get install unrar
Then change into the directory where the rar files are eg: If they are on your Desktop

cd ~/Desktop
then extract them with

unrar x filename.rar change "filename" to actually name of the rar file.
