First check if the size of your downloaded file is correct ( equal with t=
he original)
SEcond,  you might try to unpack with th i option, ignore zeros:

	tar zxvit vnc....tar.gz
	tar xvit vnc....tar

Sometimes tar files seem to be "padded" with zeros..  i guess to fill up =
the blocks, if so then tar might see these as eof...


Good Luck
