Hi Janos, I noticed that already and I tried both. Download via Safari which then unzippes automatically and via console where the file stays unchanged. But there's no difference. Both can't be correctly unpacked. Just wrote a new mail 5 min. ago. Will take some min to appear on maillist though. Checked on my internet connection and had weird results.
Thanks for the trouble though. David. Am 19.06.2009 um 19:56 schrieb Janos Sallai: > Depending on your browser, the downloaded tar.gz might be > automatically gunzipped.
