Windows drops the 'extra' file extension when downloading. the file is
still a .tar.gz but the .gz is missing. The file can be renamed with .gz
extension and you will no longer have the error message. Well that is
what I have found in my experience. I have also found that using
netscape on Windows to download a .tar.gz file that when the dialog pops
up asking where to save the file that adding .gz to the file name there
will also solve the problem, again in my experience.
