Sorry, I really meant to say I had "delete after expanding" unchecked. It
was not the default setup as I stated, but my setup so I can have .sit
files the same time as decompressed ones.

I have the most current version.

Yes, the hqx file downloaded on Win does not get deleted. It seems that it
directly decoded and decompressed to the program and files. I tried it with
StuffIt Expander 2.0 on Windows and it did the same thing on Windows side.
Please tell me I'm not crazy.
