I just downloaded the newest beta and it gives a corrupt installation file
error.  Anyone else have this happen?  Anxiously awaiting a digital fix like a
junkie.

Cheers!

      I'm getting the same - "Corrupt installation file".

      I'll try again tonight.

   Hang on. It HAS installed. Wierd. It definately didn't finish the
instal, (well, it stopped at the 'abort/try again' stage).

I re-downloaded this morning and this one installed properly with no
problems.

  It sometimes happens, when some special conditions are met (the exact
conditions in question are a mystery to me) that the download stops when
something like 90% has been downloaded. It has happended to me as well,
but just 3 to 5 times in my entire life.
  (The curious thing is that, as far as I remember, the download stops
always at the same point instead of changing randomly. I could be wrong,
of course.)
