It was a link to the file location in the git repo, not a download link. The file is fine.

I suppose you just need to fix whatever is wrong with the file.
I have had to follow a convoluted process to open it, when a tar -xzf
should be enough.

If you open the link first and then pick up the link to download it as raw
