Yes, manually removing the ".bz2" from the file name works. So it is
actually a ".dmg" file, not a ".bz2" file.

I'm also having trouble with the download of PortAuthority, at

If I download with Safari, I get PortAuthority.dmg.bz2. If I
double click on that file in the Finder I get a
PortAuthority.dmg.bz2.cpgz file.
Running bunzip2 -t on PortAuthority.dmg.bz2 gives:
bunzip2: PortAuthority.dmg.bz2: trailing garbage after EOF ignored
If I then do bunzip2 -d it gives the same error message but
produces a .dmg. However, trying to mount the .dmg gives a no
mountable file system error message.
Changing the setting of Safari preference "Open safe files after
downloading" didn't seem to have an effect on this.
However, if I download it with Firefox I get a mountable .dmg file
with a usable PortAuthrority.

Unfortunately, I can't confirm this on my end--the file downloads
via Safari and mounts fine for me.
I have encountered errors such as this on a random basis with other
DMG's. Sometimes removing the .bz2 suffix solves the problem--the
DMG then mounts without trouble.
