I've tried on two different computers and each time I try to open the Zip package it will crash StuffIt Expander. Anyone else having same trouble?

Then the file you've downloaded is incomplete.Download it again.
Applications like Archive Utility and even, god help me, Stuffit Expander do not crash on just regular uncorrupted files. They decompress millions of files a day on millions of machines and you're going to tell me that both of them have found the one COMPLETE file on the internet that neither of them can decompress?
No. Go back and download it again, and make sure it finishes properly, then it'll work.

Your issue reflects more on StuffIt Expander than Mactracker.Don't use StuffIt Expander. Use Mac OS X's built-in zip archiver/extractor. Right-click the file, choose Open With... and select either "Archive Utility" or "BOMArchiveHelper" (depending on your OS version).
Or better yet, Get Info on the file, and set Archive Utilty/BOMArchiveHelper as the default for all zip files.
