Mac Users: What do you use to unzip .Zip and .Rar files?

Asked by whitetigress (3129points) November 14th, 2011

I currently use Zipeg. Everyone once in a while, out of 14 files (rough estimate) I’ll get 13 successfully unzipped files and 1 that that failed to be extracted. Usually this happens with .Rar files. Suggestions?

^ @johnpowell told me about the Unarchiver and it is absolutely amazing.

For .zip files at least, you don’t need any program. OS X will unzip it.

Agreeing with @johnpowell . The unarchiver is glorious, and I miss it being on a win7 system now.
