Try:

http://www.muraroa.demon.co.uk (Europe -- main site)
"What is bzip2?
bzip2 is a freely available, patent free (see below), high-quality data
compressor. It typically compresses files to within 10%
to 15% of the best available techniques, whilst being around twice as
fast at compression and six times faster at
decompression."

from the release notes:
If you have downloaded the .bz2 version of the file, and
you have bunzip2 installed on your system, the equivalent tar command
is:
tar xvIf jdk1.2.tar.gz # whatever the file is called
[^^^ Typo -- should be .bz2 of course.]
