IOW(?), OP, is your http-downloaded object, a tarball ?

Probably a browser error.  I think chromium did that (decompressing
tar.gz) at one time.  I've just used wget on the http link.  I got
the expected md5sum and file reported

[blfs-dev] Popt-1.16 http download corrupted file?

2016-10-21 Thread Peng HG
Trying to extract the Popt-1.16 tarball downloaded from the http link fails 
with the message

gzip:stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

The tarball from the ftp link is OK though.
