It is an alpha release of the Tor project Browser Bundle (TBB). Firefox, *wget*, and *curl* have no problem with the files. (I did try *wget* before I eMailed you, but I convinced myself that my result was garbage.) I probably should send a bug report to torproject.org, huh? When I try to view the file in TBB, it silently shows a blank page. When I try to save the page, it says it had trouble reading the file. > Once we release a new version, we move the older images, checksums > etc. into the archive section of the cdimage site.
