   rar is partially added as a mime type in function.php but is not fully implemented.

   Would it be possible to add
   'rar' => 'application/x-rar-compressed',
   to the
   $mimes = apply_filters( 'upload_mimes', array(
   list of supported types.

   It already is included in the list at
   function wp_ext2type( $ext ) {
   $ext2type = apply_filters( 'ext2type', array(
   so it is a bit odd that it was missed.

   Try adding this to your themes functions.php file. I just tested it on 3.1. Before I couldn't upload .rar extension. After I could.
   

   add_filter('upload_mimes', 'custom_upload_mimes');
   
   function custom_upload_mimes ( $existing_mimes=array() ) {
   
   	// add the file extension to the array
   
   	$existing_mimes['rar'] = 'mime/type';
   
           // call the modified list of extensions
   
   	return $existing_mimes;
   
   }

   ...if that is what you are asking, of course.
