What's an equivalent to WinRAR for mac? I'm having trouble finding something that works correctly to extract files. I've tried unRarx and what not. Any ideas?

I've been using "The Unarchiever" which is available from the Mac App Store. There's also StuffIt Expander, and I think iZip will also do it. They are all free, and available from the Mac App Store. Hope that helps

I use Unarchiver and RAR expander. Stuffit works pretty good too.

Correctly how? What is it that you're looking for that can't be done with UnrarX?

Did you get an error message of some sort?

I use BetterZip. It's not free, but has worked well for me.

I went ot extract a file and it wouldn't let me do it with unrarx

I've seen that too. That's why I have multiple RAR Apps available. Usually what one can't handle another can.

I second BetterZip that CWA recommended. Excellent app and worth the $$$.

MacPAR Deluxe has never failed me, and of course works on RAR files to (hate that format, can't wait till its dead).
