Here's a wish list that I would like to see. Let's forget about all this Unhexing,unpacking... on the mac side. How about stuffit including its own terminal emulator, select the files on the host side, and while downloading,do all the conversion so that only the actual files in their native format end up on my hard disk (not x number of mutant forms of the same files).
