Recently i've downloaded three or four freebies from here in the free section, linked to ShareCG. The content comes in a single rar. file. I have Poser 5 and the latest Daz studio. How do I use install these files and use them?

These are just .zip files with a .rar extension. You should be able to use most programs to unzip them to your runtime.
Hope it helped.
Have a creative day!

.rar files aren't the same as .zip files, they're compressed by a different algorithm. If the program you use to unzip (or if you use Windows native zIp support) doesn't support .rar, you can use the free program 7-zip

Will winzip in XP work ?

Give it a try -- I haven't used winzip since version 7 or so, so I don't know if they've added .rar support since then.

I use 7zip or IZarc freeware to unzip RAR archives.
