I only have one Internetconnection and all my machines use it. I have no internetproblems whatsoever. All my systems (win,lin,osx) can update and are doing fine. If I download *.tar.gz files from other sources they work fine. But when I try to download *.tar.gz files from tinyos.net all my systems tell me that they are corrupted. I just have downloaded the xubuntos 2.1 virtual machine image in a *.tar.gz file. When I tried to unpack the result was:
macbook$ tar xvzf xubuntos-2.1-vm.tar.gz Xubuntos 2.1/ Xubuntos 2.1/nvram Xubuntos 2.1/Xubuntos 2.0-s001.vmdk gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors I can't believe though my internetconnection can be the reason for my experiences since biterrors during transmission should be detected and repaired and they should not always occur in the same files. But I'll try out something there tomorrow anyway. To my sources.list I added the following line deb http://tinyos.stanford.edu/tinyos/dists/ubuntu hardy main David.
