"RAR is a general purpose archiving and compression program competing
with/replacing programs such as PKZip, ARJ and others. RAR offers
significantly improved compression ratios, easier use and a better
price as well as supporting long file names, disk spanning and
self-extracting file creation. RAR introduces an original compression
algorithm. It allows higher compression ratios than other PC
archiving tools, especially on executable files, Object libraries,
large text files, etc."

I think the rar-2.80-2ur.i586.rpm is on the contrib CD. Check one of the
mirror sites, as well.
