Hello all, I seem to be having some difficulty downloading the freesurfer software to my MAC computers. I have tried my laptop (MacBook pro, I don't remember the version but it is approx. 10.3) as well as a desktop (imac, mac osx version 10.8.3) and also tried two different networks. I have tried just clicking on the link (on your download page) as well as the curl -O command line. I get an NSURL error everytime, prior to any significant downloading. I have not have this difficulty with other freeware downloading to the same computers or on these networks. Any thoughts?
Thanks Mike
Mike,
I just tested the links on this page the download page and they work for me:
http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/Download
What happens when you type this command into your terminal:
curl -O ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer/5.3.0/freesurfer-Darwin-snowleopard-i686-stable-pub-v5.3.0.dmg
Both techniques work from my location.

Mike,
I have tested the download from multiple computers on multiple different networks, including my home network. It is successful everytime. I dont know if you have a a system administrator who can help resolve the situation on your end but everything seems to be running correctly on our side.
