I've found that every un-rar utility on the Mac is rather slow - but not StuffIt especially. StuffIt simply doesn't really show you where in the process of unraring it really is, if it's a segmented RAR file.
 
'can anyone help me step by step how to use it..to extract those file...' -
01. Launch 'Terminal' ('/Applications/Utilities/' folder).
02. Enter ...

open /usr/sbin/

... and press the <return> key.

03. Double click on 'rarosx-3.6.0.tar.gz', then 'rarosx-3.6.0.tar', and finally the 'rar' folder.
04. Drag 'rar' and 'unrar', from the 'rar' folder onto the opened 'sbin' folder. You will have to authenticate (provide administrator name and password).
05. Click on the 'Terminal' window and enter ...

rar help

... (or 'rar -?') <return>, for 'rar' format.

Create a, 'Terminal', 'New Shell' ('Command N') ...

unrar help

... (or 'unrar -?') <return>, for 'unrar' format.
06. Trash the 'rar' folder and 'rarosx-3.6.0.tar' file.

Have you tried using unRarX instead? It's certainly a simpler solution.
