Download with firefox and see if that makes any diff (ill assume its IE you tried?). ftp.openssl.org works ok for me. If using gnu tar try: tar zxvf openssl*gz

Hello, I have fairly recently returned to the UNIX platform and am having problems downloading one of the *.gz tarballs on your website. >From my Windows XP Professional desktop, I go to http://www.openssl.org/source/ and then choose the very latest tarball (openssl-0.9.8g.tar.gz) and download onto my local disk. Interesting, upon downloading, it has been modified to a *tar.tar file - that is, openssl-0.9.8g.tar.tar. So then, I FTP that tar file to the Solaris UNIX box that I am remotely trying to install OpenSSL onto, and try to untar -xvf the file, at which point I get the following message: vobs lca1099 > /usr/local/bin/tar -xvf openssl-0.9.8g.tar.tar /usr/local/bin/tar: Hmm, this doesn't look like a tar archive /usr/local/bin/tar: Skipping to next file header /usr/local/bin/tar: Only read 6260 bytes from archive openssl-0.9.8g.tar.tar /usr/local/bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now So then, I do check to see what kind of file it is: vobs lca1099 > file openssl-0.9.8g.tar.tar openssl-0.9.8g.tar.tar: gzip compressed data - deflate method , max compression So then, I try to gunzip it: vobs lca1099 > gunzip -d open*.tar gunzip: openssl-0.9.8g.tar.tar: unknown suffix -- ignored Oh, of course, it's needs to be renamed to a *.gz. vobs lca1099 > mv open*.tar openssl-0.9.8g.tar.gz vobs lca1099 > ls *.gz openssl-0.9.8g.tar.gz Now, try to gunzip it again: vobs lca1099 > gunzip -d open*.gz gunzip: openssl-0.9.8g.tar.gz: invalid compressed data--format violated ^Cvobs lca1099 > gunzip open*.gz gunzip: openssl-0.9.8g.tar.gz: invalid compressed data--format violated There's got to be a better way to do this. I tried directly ftp it from the UNIX box, but the tarballs that are available on the ftp site are all really old. Please go easy on me and let me know a better way to do this?
