I'm having the same problem. I downloaded 9.5.170 from the Apprentice page, Win32 version. Just for fun I downloaded the Win64, and that loaded fine (but of course didn't work on my system).

Ok i figured it out. There seems to be a problem with the file when you go to Download apprentice. but on the page where you have the builds it seems to work.

Yea, that worked for me too. The default download link has a bad file, the builds page works perfectly.

Seems to be the same case with the Mac OS package. On the “Download Apprentice” page the download gives you a file called <file>.dmg.html. This file thoroughly confuses any browser. Renaming it to .dmg results in an unmountable disk image.

On the regular download page you get a file called <file>.dmg which mounts fine.

Downloads are fixed now - sorry about that. Give it another shot.
