Hey
I've noticed that new RAR5 isn't comatible with JDownloader and JD throws error while extracting.
Could it be possible to add an option to archive using RAR4 or RAR5. RAR5 is used by default you can set -ma4 and it will switch to RAR4

Changelog from winrar website

Quote:

1. WinRAR and command line RAR use RAR 5.0 archive format by default.
You can change it to RAR 4.x compatible format with "RAR4" option
in archiving dialog or -ma4 command line switch.

Or maybe you can give us a field where we can add extra commands for using winrar. Just an idea I don't know if that would be possible.

I'm using default value for that (which is apparently RAR5).

Will add this option.

If you really need this fast you can as well just down-grade WinRAR where they don't have RAR5 support and are using RAR4 by default.
