    Nice app. Previously, I used the Zarchiver application to unpack zip archives. This application is closed source but does not contain trackers.

    I once bought a CD of a guy with music on it, because they where ripped off by Spotify and didnt want to be their b**ch anymore.

    They gave me a dropbox link along with it, with a huge zip archive containing the FLACs, no filemanager could extract it, but ZipXtract worked!

      There is a free version, its called unrar and preinstalled on many Linux Distros. You can only uncompress, which is 200% enough for that stupid format XD

        According to Wikipedia there are two versions of unrar, a free one which supports older versions of RAR, and the proprietary RARLab one that supports newer versions.

        There’s also a tool called The Unarchiver that supports RARv5 although it has been bought out and is currently proprietary, the free version is still available. Theoretically it could be used to provide RAR decompression for apps such as this one.

          The only thing I can think of is sending large files by breaking them up (r00, r01 etc), like how a lot of movie torrents come packaged. Just now thinking about it though: can zip do that too?

            Yes, Info-ZIP can do that, it’s called a split archive. man zip and -s splitsize or --split-size splitsize

      Wait a second, I think you are correct, I just read the changelog from f-droid and they removed rar from the f-droid version.
