StuffIt Deluxe 2011 packages your files and sends them where you want them as easily as drag-and-drop. Need security? Destinations uses strong AES 256-bit encryption.

Compress files to CD/DVD or send compressed attachments. Tailor your Destination's tiles: Choose a destination, a compression format with or without encryption, and notification option. Then drag and drop a file onto a tile and it's off. Just set it once.

Also includes some assorted minor bug fixes."
I've defended Stuffit in the past. I found it surprising to see negative reviews that had NOTHING to do with the software itself and/or posted misinformation. Probably worse, all the "smilies" from people agreeing with such misinformation. For example, there's SHMK's comment: "I just noticed the price 79.99???? You have got to be kidding." As I mentioned before, the FULL price is $49 and includes many extras. As mentioned before, they also offer discounts frequently. I paid around $18 for my upgrade, which also included licenses for the Windows version.
My version was 13, and version 15 has 2 problems:
1. In some cases expansion can be incredibly slow, as mentioned by MACGURUGUY. Most of the time this has NOT been an issue.
2. I upgraded -within the application- to 15.0.2 while using Stuffit Destinations. That did not upgrade Stuffit Archive Manager. To upgrade this, I had to download Stuffit Deluxe. ONlyOnly affected the upgrading procedure, but not typical software use.
Originally I was going to rate this with 3 stars, given that I could not preview compressed files via Quicklook. After using Stuffit Archive Manager once I can preview compressed files as I did with version 13 (using MacFuse).
Magic Menu crashed, so I had to enable it once again. This is found via Stuffit Archive Manager. I prefer a centralized application with preferences in one place. (I waited 20 minutes and used MagicMenu before posting the review. It had no other crashes.)
So in spite of this, I still have to give it 4 stars. With their promotions, it is certainly attractive even for new users. The software handles pretty much every format I encounter, plus it integrates with other applications such as anti-virus and email programs. In terms of compression, it offers a plethora of options.
They also offer free versions of some of their software which may be good enough for many users.

At first I thought they removed the Magic Menu, but going to the preferences and toggling it off and on made it load again.
I still prefer Stuffit even though OS X has a zipping function built in.

NIN Free Ghost download:
Original ZIP file: 82.6 MB (Same)
Uncompressed: 87.3 MB (Same)
Sitx: 73.8 MB (instead of 82.4 MB)
Percentage of saved spaced per file ranged from 5.9% to 24.6%, excluding the .DS_Store file at 97.6%
Preferences:
Compression (Choose method by file type)
Compression level (16)
Memory usage (30)
Encryption RC4 (512-bit)
Error correction level (off)
Encoding (off)
Optimizers (off)
Blockmode (On)
I created these settings in 2009 and my version is 13. I would think that version 15 has the same or similar options.
As posted in my previous comparison, other apps at their best level of compression have resulted in files larger than my sitx files. Browsing the sitx archive via Quick Look or Stuffit Archive Manager was fast and easy.
BTW, I did not find a nice discount coupon so the upgrade is not worth it to me. Still, the software is MUCH better than some of the comments here would indicate. In summary, it has more features than the competition, handles more file types, and can yield better results.
