EV: Nova Download

I realize that this is not exactly a development question, but it seemed like the best forum for it. I've been trying to download Escape Velocity Nova from the Apple website and it's not working. It will download in a .sit document of 91mb and when I open it, a window pops up and asks me which program to use to open it. How do I get the actual program to work?

iMac G5, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Yes, that really isn't a development question.

Files with the .sit suffix are compressed using Stuffit. Go to versiontracker.com and download Stuffit Expander and use that to open and compress the .sit file.

Two points:
1) No one should be using proprietary compressors - even if the expander is freely available in this day and age so shame on them.
2) Please search for a more appropriate forum in the future for your posts.

Hope that helps,
