Where would you get a tarball, by the way? There is none linked to from http://lucene.apache.org/mahout/releases.html. As for getting it from SVN, the "Version Control" link under "Resources" in the sidebar of http://lucene.apache.org/mahout/ points to a ViewVC instance ( http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/lucene/mahout/). I had to dig around a tiny bit to find http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/mahout/trunk/.
