The release version of the archive is password protected. You should be prompted for the password when you attempt to unstuff the archive. If your downloading software attempts to unstuff it automatically via a script, it may cause an error if the script fails to prompt you for the password. Unstuff it manually instead, with StuffIt or a similar utility, to ensure that you have an opportunity to enter the password. You may need to set the downloading preferences in your browser not to automatically unstuff such files, but rather just to save them to disk.
