A lot of people have been using Stuffit to post software on the net.
This was ok  when Stuffit was a shareware, which it is not anymore.
Have you tried Compactor? It is much faster than stuffit, it compresses
much tightier than stuffit, it works in background, and it costs $25 !

   I'm a sysop on a french pro BBS (Calvacom yeah), and we've been using
compactor for a couple of months without any problem. And by the way, there is a free Extractor, which does the same kind of job as Unstuffit, but I 
forgot one thing, Compactor uncompresses Stuffit archives as well, and Bill Goodman wrote a little utility that transforms stuffit archives to Compactor archives, (SitToCpt) with a gain of at least 20-25% in size.

  So, why bother?
