That is wierd.

Well here I'll give you a better way to do it. Delete your 1.1.1 download. There is a thread here where you can download 1.1.1 Restore pack from. Download it from the link in that thread. After that just use iTunes to downgrade.
 
I had the same problem with my touch. If you go to the top left while you're in Safari and click Safari, then go to Preferences, you need to uncheck Open "Safe" Files After Downloading.

For some reason this is making Macs unzip the file automatically. Then restart Safari and try it. Should work for you then. :cool:

The zip file is thrown into the trash while the unzipped folder is on the desktop or downloads folder. Just remove the .zip from the file in the trash and use that ipsw
