This may be one of the few times I am actually able to give a correct answer
to a simple question.  I believe what you have on your desktop is not the
alias; it is the disk image which you downloaded.  Whey you say "doesn't
want to be gotten rid of", I assume that you cannot drag it to the Trash.
If all this is true, the problem is that you cannot trash a disk image.  You
must "Eject" it instead.  Select it and type cmd-E, or else select it and
then pull down your FInder's File menu to Eject.  You may also have an Eject
button on your keyboard in the top right.
