Hi,

I am trying to download the latest version of Metamod:Source for Linux from http://sourcemm.net/

$ wget http://www.metamodsource.net/downloads/mmsource-1.8.6-linux.tar.gz --2011-06-01 20:39:40-- http://www.metamodsource.net/downloads/mmsource-1.8.6-linux.tar.gz Resolving www.metamodsource.net... *************.89 Connecting to www.metamodsource.net|*************.89|:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK Length: unspecified [text/html] Saving to: `mmsource-1.8.6-linux.tar.gz' [ <=> ] 4,549 --.-K/s in 0.005s 2011-06-01 20:39:40 (970 KB/s) - `mmsource-1.8.6-linux.tar.gz' saved [4549] $ tar xvfz mmsource-1.8.6-linux.tar.gz gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now $

It seems like the Linux archive is corrupted—I can't expand it via Mac's tools either. Is anyone else having problems with this?

That's not actually the file. I would say the URL sucks because it makes people think it is. (Two hints in your wget output are the filesize and the content type.)

I feel stupid now—thanks guys. I blame Safari for treating it like a download even though it sent the correct content-type header.
