This works on Chrome and IE.

File is downloaded.
Maybe it is not gzipped? bug 219526, bug 230153

Hm, gunzip does not complain about the file downloaded with "curl" or "curl --raw" or "wget" (all stay gzipped .bsq — maybe that's not considered a gzip content-encoding?).

It is a gzipped file, Chrome and IE decompress the file with no error.

The only difference is that the file contains extra header fields (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1952.txt section 2.3.1.1). The spec says that a decompressor must be able to skip unknown extra fields.
Yes, "file" mentioned "extra field":

$ file YG5DMWUGSJWNB9E5GDQ6.bsq
YG5DMWUGSJWNB9E5GDQ6.bsq: gzip compressed data, extra field, max compression

Maybe bug 329245?
