(It appears that the errors we get respectively might not be related) I myself submitted a bug report about the error on my system (64-bit Intel Mac OS X Leopard 1.5.4 Mathematica 6.0.3). Here is an extract of last email I got from WRI: "I was able to reproduce both errors; the first error I believe is due to a corrupted download. If I attempt to download the file by clicking on the floppy disk icon under the Download NOW table heading, I cannot unzip the archive, no matter what archive utility I use on either Mac or Linux. However, by selecting the checkbox next to the file and clicking "Request Marked Datasets" I am then able to download an uncorrupted version of the file. Then I am able to reproduce the second error that you receive; in this case, I believe the problem is occurring because of the size of the file that you are trying to import; a FITS file that is ~600 MB will take up about 4 times as much memory space when imported into Mathematica, and Mathematica will have a lot of problems when attempting to deal with a file that requires that kind of space. I am able to import smaller FITS files with no difficulty." Regards, -- Jean-Marc
