Did a Linux Subsystem for Windows (Ubuntu) download to test and it's fine for me:

$ wget https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/9.0/TorBrowser-9.0-osx64_en-US.dmg
...

$ file TorBrowser-9.0-osx64_en-US.dmg
TorBrowser-9.0-osx64_en-US.dmg: bzip2 compressed data, block size = 900k

7-Zip for Windows extracts it fine, except for an (expected) error about being unable to create a symlink for it to Applications.

If it continues, I'd verify whether your connection to torproject.org is being... adjusted.

How can I verify whether my" connection to torproject.org is being... adjusted."

Some ways to tell:

  • Try using your Mac from a different location and/or ISP. Take it to a friend's house, etc.
  • Try switching your DNS. That is, if you're using your ISP's DNS, set your Mac DNS settings to use 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1 and then try.
  • Test using a free public proxy.
  • If you use a VPN service (NordVPN, PrivateInternetAccess, etc), enable it and then try. Conversely, if you are using one: disable it and then try.
  • If you don't have a VPN service, consider signing up for one (or maybe get a free trial) and then try. But do not sign up for a "free" VPN service.

If that doesn't work and you don't get any joy here, check out Tor Project's Contact page for more specific help.
