This means that the Java package from patters can not locate your downloaded file. Please make sure that you upload the file to the 'public' folder. You can do this in the File Station, but not in the Shared Folder control panel.
Another reason that the Java package can not locate the file can be that your browser renamed the file during download. I'm not sure how Safari handles this. Please verify that the file extension of your downloaded file is *.tar.gz.
If you still have no luck with installing Java, please try to be as specific as possible. Screenshots showing your problem may also be of great help.
