    Question Unreal tournament 2004 demo

    Hello, I downloaded UT 2k4 recently, and it comes in a .run.gz file.
    When I un-tar it in terminal, It says:
    Code:
    $ sudo tar -xvzf '/home/dude/Downloads/UT2004-LNX-Demo3334.run.gz' 
[sudo] password for dude: 
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
dude@hp-desktop:~$
    What should I do? I have re-downloaded several times.

    Try to decompress it first.
    Code:
    cd Downloads
gzip -d UT2004-LNX-Demo3334.run.gz
    Does it decompress file?
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Unhappy sorry.

    Nope. It seems to work, because the run file extracts, but then it says:

    gzip: /home/dude/Downloads/UT2004-LNX-Demo3334.run.gz: unexpected end of file
    I have downloaded this from so many locations. And it's always the same story.
