I'm relatively new to Macs so I don't know what program will work to open rar files. I just downloaded a rar the other day and found to my dismay that the Mac OS doesn't know what program will open it. Can anyone suggest a free download?
What Mac program will open .rar files?

The Unarchiver is my favorite. Small, simple, and mostly transparent to the user.

UnrarX if it's encrypted, Unarchiver if not here.
I find Unarchiver struggles with password protected files, even given the correct password.
