I've had this problem across several softwares that I've tried to download. It's actually a network problem. Either their server slowed down or your internet speed got too slow. Somehow the connection between you and them got slowed down enough to corrupt the download stream. This causes a file that's unable to be mounted. Just try again later with a faster internet, or perhaps at a time when the Skype server may not be as busy. It should work fine at that point. It’s not Skype.
