Don't use StuffIt at all. Seriously. *at all*
Mac OS X 10.4 and later do not ship with StuffIt and it's a hell of a
process to download it. There's no benefit to using StuffIt that
outweighs the annoyance of having to download and install it. Use a
format that 10.4 can expand on its own (ie .zip) because it doesn't
require any installation at all, and those that alread StuffIt
Expander on earlier OSes that don't expand files (10.2-) can still
expand those same files.
It's nothing but hassle and cost for everyone all to save a few
percentage points on compression.
