Oddly enough it says it's shareware - but there are .rpm and .deb
(along with .tar.gz) files there.

From the WinRAR site:

WinRAR supports files and archives up to 8,589 BILLION GIGABYTES in size

That's a big file - hopefully your source isn't transfering ones 
quite that large :)

Sometimes I see the sun a burning tree
Its golden fruit swung bright in airless air.
Its apples wormed with man and gravity.
Their worship breathing from them everywhere.
As man sees sun as burning tree.
