User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.3-20mdk i686; en-US; rv:0.9+)

For the past few days, whenever I try to download a currently gzipped nightly,
the resulting file is 23 megs and gzip says it's "not in gzip format."
I then proceed to download the same file with gftp and gzip says it's "ignoring
trailing garbage" after decompressing. Deleting the file and starting over with
gftp works fine.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to reproduce:
1. Download a nightly build in gz format from
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly
2. run it through gunzip or tar zxvf
3. Note error message.
Actual Results: download is corrupted 23M unusable file
Expected Results: file should be between 9 and 10M and should unzip to a mozilla
directory
Some info on the file:
$ ls -l mozilla-gcc295-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz

Oops!
$ file mozilla-gcc295-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz

That should've tipped me off... the files are beeing unzipped automatically.
Summary: http download results in large, corrupted file → tar.gz files automatically unzipped, without warning.
And it's already been filed...
