I noticed this when visiting the supplied URL and downloading the TortoiseSVN
client for Windows. This happens to be an 'msi' file, but that is of no consequence.

Harddisk is of course spelt with a 'k', as an abbreviated form of diskette.
Compact Disc is spelt with a c because of its shape. In this case, you should be
offering the option of Saving to Disk.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/download.html
2. Click on of the links to the build packages. They are .msi files.
3. The new window, 'Opening <File>' appears, asking what Firefox should do. It
is this window that has the spelling error.

It says Disk for me.

I can confirm this with an en-GB build. This needs to be moved to Mozilla
Localizations -> en-GB / English, United Kingdom. As far as I can tell disc
relates to a thin, circular object, and disk is the shortened form of diskette.
I think it should be disk, regardless of localisation.
