Install problem on Linux (Ubuntu 9.10)

Hi, I have just swapped from Windows to Linux, so I am very much a Linux newby. I have tried to install the latest Calibre version to my system, and I get the following:

andyevans@Trinity ~ $ sudo python -c "import urllib2; exec urllib2.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read(); main()"
[sudo] password for andyevans:
Enter the installation directory for calibre [/opt]:
Will download and install calibre-0.6.45-i686.tar.bz2
Downloading calibre-0.6.45-i686.tar.bz2
100% [================================================== ====================]
Checking downloaded file integrity...
tar: Record size = 8 blocks

bzip2: I/O or other error, bailing out. Possible reason follows.
bzip2: Broken pipe
Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout)
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
Failed to download, retrying in 30 seconds...


It then downloads again and fails again, then aborts. Anyone know whats going on here?

Best regards

Andy.
