You wouldn't happen to be on a Macintosh, by chance, would you?  If you are,
are you trying to mount the image file with DiskCopy?  It's not a DiskCopy
file; Squeak uses the image file verbaitim.  If either your browser or the
Mac OS thinks that it is a DiskCopy file, it willl try to mount the image
with DiskCopy or StuffIt, both of which (correctly) report that the image is
corrupted.

I can personally vouch for the fact that the server's image file is in
perfect working condition; I downloaded a fresh image just a few minutes ago
to make sure, and it seems to be working perfectly well for me.

Do make sure that you have downloaded the file in binary format.  You can do
this in IE by Control-clicking on a Mac (or right-clicking in every other
OS) and choosing to download the link to disk.  In Netscape, try
Option-clicking the link on a Mac.  (I don't think there's an equivilant in
*nix and Windows versions.)

Good luck.  Enjoy Squeak!
