Best Par tools for the mac, bar none. Will also act as an unrar tool and also integrates with other apps such as split&concat. If you're on usenet and download binaries - you NEED macpar. Brilliant app.

certainly the best PAR application for os x. Although you should consider hellanzb which has integrated par recovery.

*Has a problem where it will continue to scan the contents of the directory even after recovery information is sufficient/not needed. This can be very time consuming when you have a large number of files to search through for recovery information.

This program works beautifully with any pars I get from newsgroups. I've not had a single par/par2/rar that this program couldn't handle. It's easy to use, very "mac like" interface, and it's a Universal Binary.
