Basically, it is. > is there any benefit in making a tar.gz of it? Yes, for broken browsers (if used for DL) that will attempt to open the file in a window because they have no clue what a .jar is. Most browsers should know how to handle .tar.gz by now. I would just use wget and not worry about the extension but I realize not everyone does things the way I do. Could also use .zip extension in place of .jar (I think, haven't tried that so going on anecdotal mention) but that might be a wee bit confusing to some who would DL and attempt to unzip it.
