Their prices are attractive, and I have an Eagle board ready to go, so I
downloaded their design rule check file, awkwardly ensconced in a
proprietary M$ .rar archive. No worries, as unrar-free should handle
that, but:

$ unrar-free -x SeeedStudio_2layer_DRU_no_angle_20140221.rar
...
Extracting  SeeedStudio_2layer_DRU_no_angle_20140221.dru Failed    
1 Failed

Does anyone have an extracted copy, or linux fu to successfully extract?
(Why it's not a .zip like Seeed_Gerber_Generater_2-layer.zip, is
curious.)

Having invested much effort in warping my brain to work with Eagle, I'm
reluctant to endure similar pain with Kicad. In any event, it wouldn't
help with the boards I've done in Eagle.
