How did you download it? I've noticed that if you have your FTP program =
set to transfer files via ASCI rather than binary that'll mess them up. =
If you got it through a web browser than that blows that theory out of =
the water. Other than that have a friend try it. If it doesn't work =
for them contact the place you DL'ed them from and let him/her know that =
the file is bad.

Subject: GZip problems
I just downloaded all the HOWTO docs from the internet in html. They =
came in a file called Linux-html-HOWTOs_tar(1).gz. I thought that this =
might be a GZipped file. Yet when I run GZip on it from both Linux and =
Winzip they both complain that the archive is bad. I have re-download =
this two times and still get the same problem. How do I get these to =
unzip so I can have them on my disk for reference?
