wget not working for binary files. #12

Closed anfederman closed 6 years ago

anfederman commented 6 years ago

I tried to use wget for the loki catkin-ws/src files, but they were corrupted. I used ftp instead. I am not sure if downloading them and then ftp will work, I am not sure how the files are getting messed up. The error I got was the file was not in gz format. wget is binary by default, I thought, and these are pretty small files.

What was the exact wget command you ran?

Can you confirm that wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/UbiquityRobotics/learn/master/quick_start/loki/bus_server.tar.gz works.

@anfederman Can you test so we can close this issue?

I have tested on my ubuntu laptop. gunzip + tar -xf were able to unpack. For some reason on some systems tar -xfz does not work. Not sure why this is.
