Hello,

Could you please try to download the file again from this URL? Tell me if it works better for you.

http://ftp.free.org/mirrors/videolan/vl ... -2.0.5.dmg
or
http://ftp.free.org/mirrors/videolan/vl ... ntel64.dmg

Best,

If it doesn't work, please let us know how large each of the files are? What type of internet connection do you have?

[ayobee]

it isnt working.. the files aint large either. about 27mb ..
i have broadband internet connection as well.
done this too many times..

[etix]

Then it's clearly an issue with your connection since the file is perfectly valid on this mirror...

[ayobee]

thank you all for your help.
i finally figured it out..
in my system preferences, it had some options that didnt allow any other app not from the app store to work on my system
once i unclicked it... i redownloaded and now ive got a functional vlc ... yay
thank you very much... very grateful.
