@mdhuzaifapatel Typically this happens if your file has been modified, somewhere along the line, after adding it to your tuf repository.

It is difficult to help you without more detailed information, as there are many possible causes. It could be due to your own actions, or perhaps your server configuration is causing the issue.

For example, if your server is serving the .tar.gz files with a Content-Encoding: gzip header, the files will be decoded automatically upon download, which is not what you want.

Another possibility is that you are working with stale metadata. During the testing phase, it often helps to start with a clean slate.
