Hi, I'm totally new to Mac, I just bought a MBP last week and I'm expending time to learn it. I just want to know what do you use for unraring or unziping files?

Thank you

I would actually recommend BetterZip. Not only can it handle all of the formats WinRAR does, but it's one of the few Mac archive utilities that actually shows you the content of the file before you unarchive it, allowing you to select the bits and pieces you need rather than do the whole thing if need be.

A point I want to say:

The Unarchiver and Better Zip work most of the time as stated above. But they do not work with passworded .rar archives. I have only gotten UnRarX to work with passworded .rar archives. Just add in the password first then extract the archive and it works just fine.

Yes, exactly as I mentioned. :D
