From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.3-20mdk i686; en-US; rv:0.9+) Gecko/20010525 BuildID: 2001052509 For the past few days, whenever I try to download a currently gzipped nightly, the resulting file is 23 megs and gzip says it's "not in gzip format." I then proceed to download the same file with gftp and gzip says it's "ignoring trailing garbage" after decompressing. Deleting the file and starting over with gftp works fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to reproduce: 1. Download a nightly build in gz format from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly 2. run it through gunzip or tar zxvf 3. Note error message. Actual Results: download is corrupted 23M unusable file Expected Results: file should be between 9 and 10M and should unzip to a mozilla directory Some info on the file: $ ls -l mozilla-gcc295-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 vanbalen vanbalen 24514560 May 29 13:06 mozilla-gcc295-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz $ file mozilla-gcc295-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz mozilla-gcc295-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz: GNU tar archive $ gunzip mozilla-gcc295-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz gunzip: mozilla-gcc295-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz: not in gzip format $ tar zxvf mozilla-gcc295-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
Oops! $ file mozilla-gcc295-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz mozilla-gcc295-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz: GNU tar archive That should've tipped me off... the files are beeing unzipped automatically.
