Hi, first of all: the newly uploaded "sage-4.3-OSX10.4-32bit-G4- PowerMacintosh-Darwin.dmg", "MD5: a2a669c7598aed3f38f05e93c04f4d9e", approx. 420 MB in size, should be fine and do the job now. Please note that it is not an "Mac App" build, however, but an "old style" one. Now for some clarifications: the "broken" .dmg originally mentioned in this thread is not a "G4" .dmg --- probably there was a confusion with the "4" that comes from Mac OS X 10.4. That .dmg had the name "sage-4.3-osx10.4-powerpc-PowerMacintosh-Darwin.dmg", md5 sum "MD5: ff6cc952b96b04589fda6fad03a0b4eb " and was approx. 409 MB in size. There were two problems with that one. Firstly, it was build on a case- sensitive file-system. If you have a non-case-sensitive file-system (e.g. an old HFS one), than simply drag-and-drop from the opened dmg does not work. (The workaround in the accompagnying Readme-File (via cp -R -P ...) does work, I tested it.) Secondly, that Sage binary was obviously built on a machine with a PowerPC G5 (again: *not* a G4), since on a G4 machine, Sage does not start up with a well known error- message (incompatible cpu-subtype in libgmp.3.dylib). So for certain settings, it was perfectly usable, but it was removed nevertheless from the servers.
