Thread:Project:Support desk/Can not extract the installation .gz file "Unexpected end of file error"

Hi,

I downloaded the both the 1.24.1 and 1.23.6 version from this website a couple of times on different machines).

When I extracted the file from bash shell ( on Ubuntu 14) I got this error : aaa@aaa:~/Downloads/installer$ gunzip -v mediawiki-1.23.8.tar.gz mediawiki-1.23.8.tar.gz: gzip: mediawiki-1.23.8.tar.gz: unexpected end of file

I tried with 7z : aaa@aaa:~/Downloads/installer$ 7z e mediawiki-1.23.8.tar.gz

7-Zip [64] 9.20 Copyright (c) 1999-2010 Igor Pavlov  2010-11-18 p7zip Version 9.20 (locale=en_US.UTF-8,Utf16=on,HugeFiles=on,4 CPUs)

Processing archive: mediawiki-1.23.8.tar.gz

Extracting mediawiki-1.23.8.tar     Data Error

Sub items Errors: 1

I also tried a Window machine and use WinRar to unzip the file and got the 'File is corrupted' error.

Can you suggest what could be wrong here ?

Many thanks
