Hi:

I have downloaded euphor22.tar 5 or 6 times. Only once did I get a copy
which would untar fully using tar -xvz -f .....
I had better luck with KFM, and none at all with ARK.
Usually the error (when using tar) is "unexpected end of file", somewhere around
the halfway mark.  ARK refuses to open the files at all, and KFM works, up to
some point. The last time I could drag and drop everything up to the html
direcectory. After than, nothing.
Could there be something wrong with the server settings?
Perhaps you could also try serving the file via anonymous ftp?
