Hi there --
I am running a server with the 5.6 64-bit distribution, and I am looking for an unrar rpm package. I have several repositories set up on the server which are the following:
base updates extras centosplus contrib c5-testing
All are enabled. When I do a yum search for unrar, nothing comes up. Is there another repository that I should add to the list, or is there a particular website that I can go to get the package?
Thanks.

rpmfusion has it.

I see a rar and unrar in rpmforge.
# yum --enablerepo=rpmforge list rar unrar ...... Available Packages rar.i386 3.8.0-1.el5.rf rpmforge unrar.i386 4.0.7-1.el5.rf rpmforge
there's probably other ports in places like EPEL but I didn't look there.

As was mentioned, rpmforge has it. For what it's worth, p7zip does the same thing and somewhat more quickly at least in my very rough benchmarks, e.g. time rar e something.rar vs 7z e something rar.

p7zip also has multi-thread support (multiple-CPU) and EXCELLENT compression algorithm. I use it to compress some backup and log files for StarOS wireless routers. Kernel logs are pulled every hour but contain a lot of redundant info (previous parts of the logs). In that environment, compression achieved is 10.000%, or 100 times smaller. 10MB is packed into 100KB.

Did I understand right? "7z x" can unrar multipart *.rar archives faster than unrar nonfree? How is the CLI syntax?

I doubt that, given it seems to be the same code: "The decompression engine for RAR archives was developed using source code of unRAR program." http://www.7-zip.org/license.txt

To the contrary, I would even argue that if you base your implementation on someone else's sourcecode, your implementation is at least as good, but potentially better than the original.
Because when rewriting you have to understand the original, so re-implementing provides you with the opportunity to improve. And since you have to verify it works exactly the same, there's a good chance both performance and correctness are guaranteed.
The original author may not have a reference to compete against.

the way it's phrased on that license page, it seemed to me that the 7-zip authors had just reused the unrar code as is. But you're right, they may have optimized it and if so they would have had an easier time than the original unrar author.

Please visit this link mor more info:http://docs.bugaco.com/7zip/MANUAL/switches/method.htm or even better, read the manual for current version. It looks like Rar files are not supported for multithreading.

I have a page where I cover this a bit. http://home.roadrunner.com/~computertaijutsu/dvds.html (there's a section on rar)
At any rate, on my VERY informal benchmarks, just using the time command, it was faster. The syntax for that is identical to rar/unrar
7z e <first file in the rar series>, so for example
7z e 01.rar
Will unrar a section of rar files.
