Well, it could be one of several things:

1) it's a valid zip file, but the download was corrupt.

2) it's a valid zip file, the download was good, but it's
password-protected.

3) it's a valid zip file, the download was good, but it uses
depends on newer features not supported by Leopard (are things
like SecureZIP supported?).

4) it's not a valid zip file.
