Re-download the .cab. I had two incomplete downloads and saw the same error. The file size should be ~572 KB. In fact, I will attach it here.

On another subject: I hope everyone is well aware that this is a proxy-based technology (sort of like Opera Mini) where everything you request, enter as text, selection, and page impressions can potentially be captured by Skyfire. I would use Skyfire to render large pages or stream, but nothing secure or requires me to enter a password or personal/sensitive information. This is especially a concern if you use the same email/log in/password for multiple sites.

I scoured their site and found term of use as well as privacy policy. It was not very detailed on how they handle sensitive information. I'm especially concerned about SSL sites where one would "log in" by providing user name and password. In theory, SSL is point to point (between your browser and server w/ certificate), but everything you type in is going through the Skyfire proxy and logging server...
