In my experience tar (with bz2 compression) has always detected corrupted downloads, and the sage install script is supposed to notice this and try to re-download if it happens. However, clearly in your case the download was corrupted but this didn't get detected by tar. Regarding your question about the axiom interface, I'll check it out. By the way, has any progress been made on porting axiom to OS X?
