I tried it and it worked for me, so I think somehow the file
was corrupted during your download. It could be a bug in your
browser (we have seen download problems with browsers on
Windows before), so I have put another copy of the file at:
ftp://www.ssec.wisc.edu/pub/visad-2.0/small.v5d
Try downloading by:
ftp www.ssec.wisc.edu
login: anonymous
password: email@address
ftp> cd pub/visad-2.0
ftp> bin
ftp> get small.v5d
ftp> quit
Please let us know if you continue to have problems.
