Obviously Stuffit Expander has : a hard time uncompressing 1/3 of a file. If you could modify Stuffit : Expander to make sure the file is done being written before you try to : decompress it, I would consider trying it again. It would be nice to : have one Application that undoes everything. Even better would be behavior like that of GifWatcher, which paces itself so it never outruns the DL program. It decompresses the 1/3 it's got, then the next 1/3 when it arrives, and finishes when the final 1/3 gets there. What a concept!
