Serendipity 1.2 has been well received by the community, there were only very few minor bugreports. Those have been addressed in the Serendipity 1.2.1 maintenance release, available now.
The new Serendipity version also includes some new Bulletproof Theme options (user-customized stylesheets) and addresses some very minor browser quirks. If you're using Bulletproof, it is suggested you perform the update.
Also this new version addresses a security issue in the Remote RSS sidebar plugin (reported by Hanno Böck), which did not properly treat links coming from an RSS feed, which could lead to possible XSS attack vectors, if you are showing foreign feeds that might distribute malicious content to you. If you're using this plugin with an unsafe RSS feed, you should upgrade Serendipity.
Serendipity 1.2.1 features a new WPXRSS importer and can import the new WordPress 2.3 database structure All bug fixes have also been applied to our current 1.3-release tree. This release currently features some new Smarty-Templating convenience features, a remote spartacus version information interface, full pingback support, a LifeType blog importer and support of SQLRelay.
Upgrading Serendipity is very easy, have a look at the FAQ. The new version is available on the Serendipity download page.
Enjoy Serendipity and have a nice Christmas time!

It's a high time to do something for my beloved Serendipity :)
For what it's worth, I'm also seeing this when trying to download via wget or firefox using the direct link from the sourceforge page..
I also tried your link from above, as well as navigating through the sf.net site itself.. I tried downloading all six files, none of them worked..
I did try getting files from another sf.net project and they downloaded correctly.. I also tried previous s9y releases which also worked.
So, to sum it all up, it appears that there is a problem downloading the 1.2.1 release via sourceforge, at least for some people..
maybe you could contact the SourceForge technical support staff? I can't reproduce the issue here, so maybe you can together with them?
