Why am I getting a message telling me the .exe file for Firefox 8.1 is corrupted?

I'm currently trying to update to Firefox 8.1, but after I download the .exe file and try to run it, a message pops up saying the file is corrupt and it could not be extracted. I've tried a couple of times so I'm not sure if it's just me or there really is a problem with the file up for download on the Mozilla site. Any help? :/ Thank you very much in advance!

Try downloading from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ and see if that works.

Thank you -- it was fine that time, no idea what I was doing wrong the other two times.
