bzip2 1.0.6 for Mac was available to download from the developer's website when we last checked. We cannot confirm if there is a free download of this app available. Bzip2 for Mac lies within System Tools, more precisely File Compression. We recommend checking the downloaded files with any free antivirus. This free Mac application is an intellectual property of Julian Seward.
From the developer:
bzip2 is a freely available, patent free, high-quality data compressor. It typically compresses files to within 10% to 15% of the best available techniques (the PPM family of statistical compressors), whilst being around twice as fast at compression and six times faster at decompression.
You may want to check out more software for Mac, such as Smart Zipper - Compress, decompress Zip, 7Z, Rar files, keka or RAR Extractor Star, which might be similar to bzip2.
