You can try downloading it on your windows computer :


http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1422

the direct link is

http://supportdownload.apple.com/download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/Mac_OS_X/downloads/041-5122.20110720.2HQcx/Safari5.0.6Leopard.dmg


If you still have an internet connection on the Mac, it can be downloaded directly using the following command in Terminal (you'll find that in /Applications/Utilities).


curl -o ~/Desktop/Safari.dmg http://supportdownload.apple.com/download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/Mac_OS_X/downloads/041-5122.20110720.2HQcx/Safari5.0.6Leopard.dmg


just copy the entire line above, from c at the start of curl, all the way through the g at the end of Leopard.dmg, then paste it into Terminal & press enter. After some minutes, depending on internet speed, you'll see the % progress reach 100, and a file named Safari.dmg will be on your Desktop. Open it to install like any other dmg, & always check that the download address is from somewhere you trust ( in this case : ...supportdownload.apple.com/... )


All the above is for Safari 5.0.6 for OS X 10.5.8 Leopard. Don't use that if that isn't what you have.
