Erm, yes it is.

After I download it.

$ file rpcemu-0.8.6.tar.gz 
rpcemu-0.8.6.tar.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Wed 
Dec 23 20:36:07 2009, max compression

And the result of 'file' on the server.

[pe...@opal 086]$ file rpcemu-0.8.6.tar.gz 
rpcemu-0.8.6.tar.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Wed

I'm not sure how you've managed to de-gzip it on the way, browser 
options? But yes if it has lost the gzip compression on the way the 
commandline difference is

tar xvf rpcemu-0.8.6.tar
or
tar xvfz rpcemu-0.8.6.tar.gz

the presence of the 'z' flag is what treats the data as gzip compressed.
