Yes, manually removing the ".bz2" from the file name works. So it is actually a ".dmg" file, not a ".bz2" file. On Jan 25, 2008, at 2:02 PM, Kevin Walzer wrote:

I'm also having trouble with the download of PortAuthority, at least with Safari. This is on a MacBook Pro with 10.5.1. If I download with Safari, I get PortAuthority.dmg.bz2. If I double click on that file in the Finder I get a PortAuthority.dmg.bz2.cpgz file. Running bunzip2 -t on PortAuthority.dmg.bz2 gives: bunzip2: PortAuthority.dmg.bz2: trailing garbage after EOF ignored If I then do bunzip2 -d it gives the same error message but produces a .dmg. However, trying to mount the .dmg gives a no mountable file system error message. Changing the setting of Safari preference "Open safe files after downloading" didn't seem to have an effect on this. However, if I download it with Firefox I get a mountable .dmg file with a usable PortAuthrority. -David
Unfortunately, I can't confirm this on my end--the file downloads via Safari and mounts fine for me.
I have encountered errors such as this on a random basis with other DMG's. Sometimes removing the .bz2 suffix solves the problem--the DMG then mounts without trouble.
