 > The same problem with *.'''rar'''

 Can you check what mime type the *.rar file returns? wp_get_mime_types()
 returns 'application/rar'. According to wikipedia rar files use either
 'application/x-rar-compressed' or 'application/octet-stream'. Imho
 'application/octet-stream' is misused to much and should be used for real
 binaries (executable files) only (e.g. bin, exe or dll).
