7zip’s pretty nifty tool, but i’ve not been able to open split rar files (spanning across multiple files; typically downloded through torrents) with it. i still had to resort to WinRAR for this…do lemme knw how can i go abt it with 7zip
Agreed, 7-zip is not optimal for RAR. Personally I use BitZipper which also has a cool batch-tool that can extract multiple RARs and ZIPs at once.
Zipeg http://www.zipeg.com is free and work on both Mac and Windows. Opens RAR and ZIP files and many others. Great for digital photo archives.

But the same thing whenever I am copying this through fire fox it is working properly.
