Can't even download AIM!!!!

I don't know, maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I just bought a MacBook Pro a few days ago, tried downloading AIM 4.7 for Mac and got a message that said "Unable to unarchive "aim.bin" into "Downloads". (Error 45 - Operation not supported), I tried to save it and then open it and that didn't work, I even tried to download the 'troubleshooters' version' at the bottom of the page and that didn't work! Can anyone help me figure this out?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

I think you need to download stuffit expander (which I think is either free or has a free demo period available) to unstuff it? If you have that and it does not work might need to re-download.

They have a new Mac beta available, but you really are better off using iChat. There is no AV functionality for either version of AIM.

right, they have not created audio/video options for the AIM beta. i'm not sure if they're going to add functionality, though.
