Love the Mac > 40GB sure seemed like a lot - a tutorial
[ MacMove] The first solution is to use Aladdin System’s venerable compression program, Stuffit Deluxe for Macintosh. I recommend that version, as opposed to the earlier one you may already have, because they’ve finally broken the 2GB barrier.

[Tgr.com] Tea Leaves: Take This .sit and Stuff It: So unless you're targeting your application for Mac OS 9 (in which case I hate you), using Stuffit costs you money (because you have to buy the packaging app), prevents some percentage of users from using your app at all (because they will never buy or install Stuffit), and makes those who do have Stuffit installed go through a little bit of pain (because they have to sit there while a comparatively super-slow Stuffit process forks and does its thing).
[Macupdate.com] MacUpdate: Stuffit Deluxe Reviews: They freely admit that Stuffit 8 has its share of bugs and that they are working hard to solve the issues, and their support staff responds kindly and understandingly even to immature insults. One could argue that this is the least they can do after insulting their customers with such a buggy release, but in fact, this kind of honesty and integrity has become very uncommon among software companies these days.
