I just downloaded and unpacked
http://sing.stanford.edu/tinyos/dists/xubuntos-2.1-vm.tar.gz<http://sing.stanford.edu/tinyos/dists/xubuntos-2.1-vm.tar.gz--2009-06-19><http://sing.stanford.edu/tinyos/dists/xubuntos-2.1-vm.tar.gz--2009-06-19>without
any problems.  The file looks okay.

I am running on a PowerMac running MacOS 10.5.7 using tar 1.6.1.
