Who is rar, and where can I find him?

While Rar is in actuality a mod, he has also written some scripts that are available for use from the #anidb channel.

<rar> MANGA: Midori no Hibi, a completed Non-MangaReactor release, by KingFish, release thread: http://forum.anime-reactor.net/viewtopic.php?t=1943
