Stephen, Based on your feedback, I checked and saw I was running 5.1.1. I updated it and tried 5.1.2. It failed in exactly the same way.
I thought it was strange gunzip worked, or didn't show any errors. The tar is corrupted and much smaller. So I renamed it, it turns out that Safari is downloading the mirror page named as a tar.gz file (the links I sent earlier). It seems to be a known issue: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1235116/safari-and-gzip I am curious how it works for you. Did you happen to change some kind of mime-type registration? Kindest regards.
