Pros
This free app (without ads either!!) is better than any other decompression application. It put Stuffit (which was the Mac standard for more than a decade), WinZip, or any others.
Cons
I have to admit, I cannot think of any.

Pros
Generally it works fine
Cons
If you have more than 2 zip-files: with some it works fine, you can open all together. But there are zip-files, you have to open after the 2nd file each separately.
In Preferences you cannot fix it, that it expands from the beginning in the same file. The first zip-file you have always to authorise.

Pros
Opens almost any compressed archive format you are ever likely to see.
Fast; opens many Stuffit archives much faster than Stuffit Expander on my PowerMac.
It just works, you hardly notice it after a while.
Cons
None that I know of.
Summary
If you download many archive files form the web and have a Mac, I think you should have The Unarchiver installed.

Pros
• Unarchives tons of different formats
• Easy to use
Cons
• No longer supported on PowerMacs
Summary
The product description needs to be updated. The Unarchiver 3.0 is Intel-only. Very disappointed that .zipx support still leaves us PowerMac users behind.

Latest update corrects PowerMac support. 5 stars!
Pros
I'm new to unarchiver, and I was happy to discover that it opened a huge zip file that I downloaded - with no fuss . . .
Cons
But, when I attempt to open a torrent file, Unarchiver asks for my password - problem is, I have not entered a password for Unarchiver . . . please inform me where I can find how to create/change my unarchiver password.
thanks!

It's not an issue with Unarchiver; it's an issue with the torrent. This is one of the pitfalls of downloading warez. Some people put up fake files and password protect them. They then ask you to go to a site (or something like this) and register to get the password. Don't do it. you'll either end up with tons of spam or with malware (or both). Just delete the file; it's no good. Most likely it's not even what you wanted anyhow, it's just a dummy file to get you to download it and register on their site. You'll never actually get a password.
This is just one reason that torrents are a waste of time.
Pros
Easy to navigate; supports dozens of different formats; efficient, fast, reliable app; one of the best unarchiving tools on Mac OS X.
Cons
Can't find any fault in it.
Summary
The Unarchiver is one of those handful of programs I consider most essential for my system. It's truly a wonderful app that supports a variety of formats, from RAR to 7-zip to even old Amiga formats. It is able to handle practically all that you throw at it without any issues. It's practical, stable, and extremely easy to use. Great piece of software.
