Ok, I looked a bit closer. It seems this is compressed
on-the-fly and corrupted on server side. Strangely
the corruption seems to be a windows thing or at least
browser dependent. I got suspicuous after I got two
different sized files with Opera and Firefox. On
Linux I downloaded with wget for yet another size.
After a bit of messing around, I have it now:
Under Windows the files get compressed with gzip
twice! Possibly some terminally stupid, over-helpful
automatisation that decided to make sure it is a
gzip'ed file.
Temporary workaround for Windows:
Decompress, rename to name.gz and decompress again.
You may also have to click through a folder hierachy
(that I had no idea gzip could support).
Admin of the archive cc'ed, just in case.

Ok, doing gzip twice was the trick, I can now read the archives from Aug
09 to Jan 10. Are you doing the list on a Windows Server? I've zipped
files on Linux many times and never ran into this bug of double packing
before. I did wonder about the fact that the 1st unpacking produced the
same size file that the size didn't change until the 2nd go around.
