Probably not the concern of SBo, but if the source of libev is
downloaded using web browser, e.g. SeaMonkey, it cannot be extracted
using tar.

As can be seen from the commands output above:
- MD5 sums are different, depending if the source was downloaded using
web browser or wget,
- tar is not able to extract the source downloaded using SeaMonkey, but
is able to extract source downloaded by wget,
- bsdtar can extract source downloaded using SeaMonkey and wget.

If using links, the MD5 is the same as for wget.

The moral is, don't use GUI tools ;)

You are not alone.

The browser's behavior can probably be corrected using proper settings
in about:config or something, but I agree: it's often safer to use
command line tools.


I changed _network.http.accept-encoding_ as you proposed in the post and now the download is correct.

Thanks!
