It is a compressed file that can be opened with a variety of programs (google "open rar file" with quotations). It is important to know your source when opening such files. They could contain a virus, worm, trojan, or other malware that could damage your operating system.

A .rar file is a compressed file, like a .zip file. I suggest using AlZip to open it and extract the files from inside it.

.rar files are compressed files similar to .zip files that are created on winzip. The only difference is that rar files are use by winrar and have their own methods of compression. To unzip rar files download winrar from http://download.com

I think it is a compressed file, be careful because it might turn out to be .exe (program) and virus...
