Your machine is not set up to properly recognize a .dmg file. You can set that up in Internet explorer. IE thinks it is text and is downloading it as such.
In the meantime, control-click on the URL, you will get a contextual menu, and choose 'save to disk'.
In addition to that, the web server configuration can make a difference too. The runrev.com webserver is returning a text/plain mime type to the browser, which is bound to confuse more than just Internet Explorer.
# curl --head http://www.runrev.com/revolution/downloads/distributions/2.0/ revolutionosx.dmg
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...[headers cut]...
Content-Type: text/plain
On the Apache server, I would recommend the following configuration
AddType application/octet-stream dmg
Usually you can just put that into a .htaccess file in your web folder.
That mime type will cause most if not all browsers to treat it as a file to download instead of displaying it.
I just checked on some Apple.com downloads on akamai.net and they are using application/octet-stream as well.
