gzip: docmgr-1.0.tar.gz: not in gzip format

[goude]

Hellooo

I have downloaded docmgr-1.0.tar.gz from sourceforge.net but I can not extract it.

When I use gunzip I get:

gunzip docmgr-1.0.tar.gz 

gzip: docmgr-1.0.tar.gz: not in gzip format

On another thread in this forum someone had the same problem but the suggestions provided did not work for me. For example I renamed the file to .tar but that it didn't make any difference.

I think the compressed file is corrupted or something, because when I do

file  docmgr-1.0.tar.gz

I get

docmgr-1.0.tar.gz: data

Usually the file command on a .gz file should tell you that is a gzip compressed data, from Unix, etc.

Any ideas, please?

Many thanks

I downloaded the file again using Firefox and it worked fine.

I had tried downloading the file a couple of times using chrome but the problem did not go away.

I think you are correct in that the file may be corrupt, that the download failed. Try downloading again, and verifying the checksum, if one is provided (they usually are on sourceforge).
