I suppose you just need to fix whatever is wrong with the file.

This issue bites me often.  There's nothing wrong with the archive --
the original URL you used

        
https://github.com/dovecot/tools/blob/main/dovecot-2.4.0-example-config.tar.gz

is not interpreted by Github as an archive file, but a page describing
the content.  If you use a browser to extract the raw download link

        
https://github.com/dovecot/tools/raw/refs/heads/main/dovecot-2.4.0-example-config.tar.gz

wget can work with that.  It worked for me, at least.
