I downloaded

arduino-mega2560_R3-reference-design.zip 165,739 5/15/12 6:17:10p

just now and unzipped these two files:

Arduino_MEGA_2560-Rev3.brd 301,362 1/04/12 12:40:28p
Arduino_MEGA_2560-Rev3.sch 1,282,256 1/04/12 12:40:28p

Double-clicking either one produces

Invalid data in file "Arduino_Mega_2560-Rev3.sch"

or ".brd" as the case may be. This is broken, has been broken, and probably will be broken for quite a while, or at least as long as the Arduweeny think they need for a sufficient headstart on the cloners. Or maybe that's just a wacko theory....
