unziping files with mac

[crottychop]

i used to use winrar for my pc..
but what do i use for my mac?

i use mediafire and megaupload the most to download zipped files...so what works best with that?

Mac OS X has an unarchiving utility built into it, so double clicking the .zip file in Finder should extract its contents. If you want to use another, third-party application, look into The Unarchiver.

+1 for The Unarchiver. Like the above post said, if you're just dealing with .zip files then the included Archive Utility should work fine. For everything else, consider downloading The Unarchiver.

+1 - especially if you have password protected zips... the number one failing in Apples archive utility for me.....

Or just use unzip

Stuffit is also pretty good and comprehensive.
