Right. What you can do to diagnose this situation is:

Open a transcript and try to download the specific release using "force
download into cache". If it starts blabbering like this:

Download from original url
(http://chronos-st.org/downloads/Squeak/Chronos.sar) failed with this
exception: Incorrect SHA checksum of file from orginal URL
Trying server cache instead.

...then the SHA1 checksum failed and it instead downloaded from the
server cache. Ok. Now, select the release and do "browse cache". Look at
the file content. If it, as in this case, clearly is not a sar file (a
sar file is a zip file) but rather HTML then tada - that will give you
the EOCD error (trying to unzip a non zip file).
