gunzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error

gunzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--length error
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

It means you are using the wrong commands, or your file is bad.

tar -zxf will try to use gunzip and tar together, try it w/o the z switch.

It looks to me like a corrupted archive. When the data is checked by the crc it doesn't translate into anything readable. I dunno what you could do about that.

Yep, any programs, distributions or graphic files should always be transferred in binary.

download from web in binary and make sure you keep the correct file extension (netscape tends to strip the .gz)
upload in binary
tar xvfz files.tar.gz

Repeat as needed
