It looks like it was a browser-related issue...? Cc'ing Martin, our Mac person, to see if he's got any comment. Thanks! I'm glad it's working. Enjoy! -bill!

I had taken a screenshot of the DMG and at the last second grabbed the wrong thing. I really did not mean to send it. The browser I used was Firefox. I was downloading from http://www.tuxpaint.org/download/macosx/ I just tried it again from Firefox and had the same thing happen, just a different name on the DMG. This time it is named 588zsq1m.dmg However, the good news is that I clicked on the link in your email and Safari opened, as it is my default browser. From Safari I was able to successfully download Tux Paint. So, I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to my email. I really look forward to using Tux Paint. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am trying to download Tux Paint 0.9.20 (Intel/PowerPC Universal Binary). I have Mac OS X version 10.5.4. The dmg downloads and looks like this on my desktop: [ a large DMG file that's smaller than tuxpaint-0.9.20-macosx.dmg, and has a funny name -bjk ] When I go to open it, I get the following window: [ a Mac OS X message with an error about the DMG file -bjk ] Any suggestions??? I would really like to use Tux Paint. Thanks so much. Melanie ----- End forwarded message ----- Melanie, did you download the DMG from our website (www.tuxpaint.org)? If so, I'm not sure why it got that funny name, and why it was not the right size. Can you tell me what browse you were using, and its version? If you didn't download it from us, then just go here and try again: http://www.tuxpaint.org/download/macosx/ The file you get should be called "tuxpaint-0.9.20-macosx.dmg", and should be 14MB in size. (14,383,453 bytes, to be exact.) Thanks and good luck! -- -bill! "Tux Paint" - free children's drawing software for Windows / Mac OS X / Linux!
