Better Compressions Available

There are better compression algorithms than RAR and equally better file managers than that in the open source world.


7zip can very easily replace WinRAR!

Not Open-Source


rar  by an anonymous user on March 19th 2008 at 02:06 AM

rar binaries are available for linux and bsd, but rar format is proprietary and winrar is a classic shareware model, not open-source. It shouldn't be called an OpenSource Application in Ostatic.


On the other hand the far file-manager is now opensource, but windows only. NC clone.

Opening .r01 .r02 .r03 .r04 etc. files?

I just downloaded a few torrent files (movies) and the contents of the folder have multiple files with the .rxx extension. I realize that these are compressed .rar files but can't find a way to extract them all into a single, combined file that would allow me to play the movie.

I have Google'd this but haven't been able to find an appropriate response for the mac. PC users can download WinRAR and extract these quite simply from what I understand

How can you open a .rar file on a mac?
