Hi Mojca, Sorry for not having stated the OS and machine on which I tried the MacTex package: yes I am on a Mac Intel Core 2 Duo, and Mac OS X 10.6.7. Right now I don't have Tiger at hand, but maybe I can find one with a friend willing to try. Regarding what you say about your experience of MacTex under Mac OS X 10.6.7, it is indeed weird that it doesn't work for me. Would it be possible that unzipping with Zipeg (an application which I use for expanding zipped files) may explain the difference between your experience and mine?
If the program is faulty or if there were problems with download (incomplete download for example) and your program ignored that, yes. But in general this is not very common. You can try "md5sum mactex20110529.mpkg.zip" and try to unzip with something else. I would say that it might be best to ask Richard Koch, the author of MacTeX, but I'm not sure that he would be able to help either. An alternative is to wait for the next version of MacTeX and see if that one is going to work any better. Mojca
