Doh!

The download at /packages on ActiveState's site is broken, apparently, but http://www.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/6xx-builds-only/ is good. It would help if it were linked on their website, but Google managed to locate it for me (on the 20-some-aught page of results, but found, nonetheless)

Thanks, all!
