I just checked, its definitely in gzip format:
$file terrier-core-4.2-bin.tar.gz
terrier-core-4.2-bin.tar.gz: gzip compressed data
Some browsers decompress automatically (e.g. Safari). I suspect that is what has happened here.
Indeed the file I downloaded is decompressed. --($:~/Downloads)-- file terrier-core-4.2-bin.tar.gz terrier-core-4.2-bin.tar.gz: POSIX tar archive
This should not be decompressed automatically because the file is named tar.gz
I found a similar issue from here: http://superuser.com/questions/940605/chromium-prevent-unpacking-tar-gz You may need to check the web server configs as described in one of the answers.
Thanks for the useful pointer. We'll see if the webserver config can be revised to address this point.
I guess 4.2 core binary version is not in gzip format. I was able to untar without -z option though.
