  Perhaps they've fixed it, but it's compressed here.
 
  379,785 bytes arrive, decompressing into 1,699,840.  Could your HTTP
  client be decompressing it without you asking?

 Curious!

 Chrome delivers 1.6MB and what is plainly a tar file.  Internet
 Explorer delivers 370KB as you describe.

 So it is indeed a browser/webserver setup funny by the looks of it,

I thought this sounded familiar, and it is a long-standing marutan.net
bug.  http://www.riscos.info/pipermail/rpcemu/2010-May/000986.html The
.tar.gz is being served as application/x-gzip above.  To then say its
Content-Encoding is x-gzip states it has been compressed again.

Relatedly, Chrome 43 stops trying to cope with this kind of thing.

Cheers, Ralph.
