StuffIt Deluxe 2009 Revieweffective compression! - Version: 13.0, 9/24/2008 07:33AM PST

StuffIt compression is far more effective than that produced by zip. I generate large datasets in my work. I tried an example just now. StuffIt compressed the folder down to 1.7 MB. Tar and gzip compressed it to 4.4 MB. Zip compressed it to 9.2 MB...

I do not bother to upgrade every year, but you can upgrade cheaply from any prior version. The new version is much better than version 11.

StuffIt Deluxe 2009 ReviewWhen To Buy StuffIt Deluxe 13: - Version: 13.0, 9/18/2008 10:35AM PST

Never.

And I would only bother to download StuffIt Expander 13 at such time as you run into a StuffIt archive (if ever these days) and it won't expand without version 13 (which is probably NEVER).

Same old story folks:
I was such a fan of the entire StuffIt Deluxe suite before the good programmers left and the thing was bought out by SmithMicro. Now it sucks out loud. And you'll find this same old story repeated around the world over and over. And yet, SmithMicro keep on pumping out pointless expensive upgrades to the program over and over until it makes you want to:
:-Q************

Let StuffIt D I E. No one needs it! You can get nearly all the functionality for FREE in Mac OS X itself and with several other FREE compression and encryption and password locking and backup options that DO IT BETTER.

And how about letting SmithMicro die as well. I bought their InternetCleanup v5.0 to try to address tracker cookies, and the thing was a POS. SmithMicro were very nice about giving me my money back. But they also gave me promises of repairs to the bugs that dragged on and on and on. The same thing happened to others who reviewed the program and got the same kind promises promises promises. Does anyone actually program over there? Or is this yet another disastrous implosion of a company that was so stoopid they let marketing take over leadership, the very last place marketing should ever be?!

Time to die.

StuffIt Deluxe 2009 Usage Tip- - Version: 13.0, 9/17/2008 06:37PM PST

3 stars. Because the software does what it needs to do. BUT it is the same thing! This is a rip off, it dose not make your files any smaller or compress it any faster... After I got it to work on my iMac G5 2.0Ghz 10.5.5, it seemed slower.. kinda sad.

i'm reminded me of this! this came off of the MacFixIt.com page
april 1 1999

Stung by criticism that its StuffIt 5.x utilities have more bugs than new features,
Aladdin announced today that it will soon be releasing StuffIt 6.0. According to the
press release, Aladdin has decided that, given today's larger hard drives and fast
Internet connections, compression utilities are not really needed anymore. As a
result, StuffIt 6.0 will not actually do anything. After running it, so-called
compressed files remain unchanged except that a .sit, .bin, .sea or .hqx suffix is
added to the file name. This allows other programs that expect to see these suffixes
to continue to work properly with the files. Aladdin says that 6.0 will be a free
upgrade, available online. However, as the upgrade will be only in StuffIt 6.0
format, users are predicting a 'Catch-22' where you need to somehow get a copy of
the program before you can download it. Aladdin responded that this will not be
necessary because, since StuffIt 6.0 files are not really compressed anyway, you can
just run them directly.

have a great day!
