I want to use the program "mailman" to manage my e-mail list. I'm using OS X, Jaguar. However, when I attempt to download the file via Safari I'm told the download manager can't download the file mailman-2.0.13.tgz
I appreciate any feedback. I'm computer savvy from a user perspective, however, the programming realm is out of my bailiwick.
Thanks for your help.
Regards, Joseph Mina

Perhaps downloading the current version would work out better? Go to the http://www.list.org/ site to find it.

Trust me, you can download Mailman source distribution .tgz files from sourceforge (the primary location for the latest versions of MM) using Safari 1.0 on MacOS X 10.2.6; I have just done it.

I agree with Vivek that you would be better off installing MM 2.1.2, the latest stable version. MM 2.0.13 is short on some of the neat facilities found in 2.1.2.

While it is aimed at Mac OS X Server, the steps for installing on Mac OS X client should vary but little.

As others have already suggested, you should get version 2.1.2.
While you can do this with Safari, you're going to need to be able to use the command line to install Mailman, so I'd suggest doing this from a Terminal window, and using the 'curl' command. See 'man curl' for details on how the command works.
You'll need to have the developer tools installed, and you'll need to make sendmail run -- Apple's installers have a nasty habit of making "/" group-writable, which sendmail objects to. You might also want to consider installing Postfix as an alternative to sendmail -- it's an easy build on OS X. Seee <http://www.postfix.org>
You can do this, but it's not entirely trivial. If you aren't familiar with building and installing software on Unix, you've got a learning hump to get over. You'll need an administrative id to do the installations, too.
