DLed a .rar archive, it opened automatically

So after the reset, I DLed a .rar file, and when the DL completed, I was surprised to see it open in UnRarX all by itself. I previously (before the reset) had it set to DL and leave the opening of the file to me (in case I wish to open it another volume or something). Where in TFF can I select what to do with DLed RARs, ZIPs, etc.?

Thanks!

   Go to Preferences>Applications. You may have to search a bit, the entries may be under 'rar' / 'zip' or under the name of the application these file types are associated with on your system.

   Yeah, that's where I expected to find it, but I only see 8 types of content listed there:
   irc
   ircs
   maiito
   Podcast
   PDF
   Video Podcast
   Web Feed
   webcal

   (Entering "rar" in the search field there gives no results)

   Any idea what's going on here?

   OK, I see now what happened: when I started the DL, a dialog box opened asking me if I wanted to open or save the file. I unthinkingly allowed it to open the file upon completion, which it did, onto the desktop, rather than onto my preferred save-to volume.
