I've never heard of such a problem, so I think either your download failed (are you sure you downloaded from the actual download page?) or there is a problem with your gzip. Look at the file size of the file you downloaded. Open it in a text editor and look at the contents. Does it look like a web (HTML) page? Or a binary file? > Please help if you can!
