When I open them with File Roller 3.4.1 (the default program to handle archive files), there's a file that seems empty (0 byte). When I try on the terminal, I get: gunzip Financial\ Indicators\ –\ Stocks.gz gzip: Financial Indicators – Stocks.gz: invalid compressed data--length error gzip: Financial Indicators – Stocks.gz has more than one entry -- unchanged So the file seems corrupted, but I sent it to a friend who uses Windows. He extracted the file on his computer and sent me the output: it's a zip files which, in turn, contains two .csv files. So the file is not corrupt, there must be a problem with the packages used to handle them.

I am new in this forum I have a serious problem I have a something.gz file. When I type gunzip -c something.gz this commend open the file but at the end of the file I get an error message invalid compressed data--length error. Also if I type more at the and of this commend like gunzip -c something.gz | more, file would not open. It gives some meaningless characters. I want to open this file with more. what is the reason of this problem.

Posts 13,268 Probably the gzip file is munged. BTW, the -c option outputs the uncompressed data to stdout, and if you pipe it to more (or less) to view the file, make sure it is a text and not a binary file. If you just want to uncompress the file, drop the -c option and it will uncompress the file "something.gz" file to "something"

I have been observing this when downloading Eclipse IDE. I tried many Eclipse versions, Scala IDE, but all result in the same error. Is there something wrong with my Internet connection or my Hard Drive? How to diagnose and fix this problem? *Update invalid compressed data * i tried using another computer to download the same file on the same internet connection. the file download is successful. so it means something wrong in my harddisk only. i checked the Disk 'palimpsest' report and does show many "read errors" and many "Seek Errors" , many "hardware ECC recovered" . But the "Uncorrectable Sector Count" is 0. Does that mean my disk is a problem but it is a recoverable error? what can be done to recover from these errors? Update 2 i tried attaching my phone as a USB device and downloaded the file in it. the file was downloaded using wget -c command. The same error occured, i.e. extracting the .tar.gz file failed as there was a CRC error that means Harddisk is OK, and internet connection is OK (see Update 1) , but there is something wrong in the OS? many times i am not even able to apply all updates as the updates also fail for the same reason "Hash Sum Mismatch" plz help!! downloads share|improve this question edited Mar 18 '14 at 17:16 asked Mar 4 '14 at 20:35 weima 7418 Sometimes it happens due to internet connection.
