THIS APPLIES TO MAC USERS ONLY:

MAKE FILE TRANSFERING BETTER AND FASTER BY "NOT" USING OSX' DEFAULT IMAGE MAKING PROGRAM. IT MAY BE FAR LESS COMPLICATED THAN SAY,STUFFIT, BUT IN THE LONG RUN, IT REALLY SUCKS. LONGER DOWNLOAD WAITS AND UPLOAD RESULTS. STUFFIT IS ONE OF LIMEWIRE'S BEST KEPT SECRETS BECAUSE VERY FEW PEOPLE ARE USING STUFFIT. WHY, I DON'T KNOW. STUFFIT MAKES THE TRANSFER PROCESS SO MUCH FASTER. MUCH MUCH FASTER. WHEN IN 'SEARCH MODE", I SOMETIMES TYPE IN "SIT" ONLY TO SEE WHATS OUT THERE. THERE ARE LOTS OF GOOD "AUTHORIZED" PACKAGES OUT THERE. BUT NO WHERE NEAR THE DEFAULT "DMG'S". WHEN IN THE SEARCH FIELD, TYPE IN ONLY 'DMG' AND SEE THE ETERNAL AND APPOCALIPTIC AMOUNT OF DISK IMAGES. YUK! IF YOU NEED INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO USE STUFFIT, FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME. OF COURSE, WE LIVE IN THE MATERIAL WORLD. SO THERE IS ALWAYS A TRADE OFF. A "GIVE AND TAKE". IT IS NO DIFFERENT WITH STUFFIT. FORTUNATE FOR US, IT'S NOT SO BAD. THE SMALLER YOU MAKE A FILE, THE FASTER IT TRANSFERS. HOWEVER, "UN" PACKING TAKES LONGER AND REQUIRES SOME RAM KICK. BUT THINK ABOUT IT THIS WAY:

1. YOU CAN WAIT 1 TO 2 HOURS DOWNLOADING A DMG AROUNG 150 MEGS, BUT WAIT LESS THAN A MINUTE FOR IT TO ATTACH. OR;

2. WAIT 20 MINUTES TO DOWNLOAD THE SAME SIZE FILE, AND WAIT AROUND 2 TO 3 MINUTES UNSTUFFING IT. WHICH MAKES YOU HAPPIER?

STUFFIT IS FAR MORE SUPERIOR THAN OSX'S DMG APP. MUCH MORE OPTIONS. JUST IMAGINE HAVING EVERY MAC USER ON LIMEWIRE USING "SIT" INSTEAD OF "DMG" IN ABOUT 6 MONTHS. BOY WOULD LIMEWIRE BE MORE PRODUCTIVE AND LESS TIME CONSUMING. SO DO YOURSELF A MONUMENTAL FAVOR AND START.....
