Many files downloaded off the internet have lost their resource forks, rendering them "generic" to the eyes of the Mac OS. Usually it's smart enought to figure out .bins should go to Stuffit, or worst case, pop up the application choosing thingy with Stuffit as an option, but occasionally other things wil override that and mess it up. Fortunately, .bins are designed to avoid damage to the underlying Mac files. Dragging and Dropping is the best bet, it'll force it into Stuffit.
In the past problems with .bin files and stuffit have been fixed by using macbinary rather than stuffit.
