I want to add something else that may be useful, if you search the internet it is full of threads of people who despair when tar gets corrupted and nobody knows exactly what to tell them to do when it happens, I have even heard as a solution to this, download the file again Therefore, it would be something very positive to repair, but after the good advice they gave me, I will look for someone who, paying him, will make the code of the program, obviously I will put the condition to be released under the GPL, but I will also look there to see if someone is willing to do it. do not complain you also have to get to work
