The Unarchiver: Bom Voyage ArchiveHelper
The Unarchiver is a much more capable replacement for the venerable “BOMArchiveHelper.app”, the built-in archive unpacker program in Mac OS X. The Unarchiver is designed to handle many more formats than OS X by default, and to better fit in with the design of the Finder. It can also handle filenames in foreign character sets, created with foreign language versions of other operating systems.
The Unarchiver fits right into OS X and is easy to use. All that’s required is a simple application installation, then choosing the set archive file-types that it will open by default. Viola, you now have an unarchived file, a task done very well by the aptly named “Unarchiver”. Supported file formats include Zip, Tar-GZip, Tar-BZip2, Rar, 7-zip, LhA, StuffIt and many filetypes. The Unarchiver is Open Source under the GPL License and is available as a free download.

Does anyone know if it supports password protected zip files? This is currently my number one annoyance of the built-in helper.
Nick, it does.
