important_files.tar.gz: gzip compressed data, defated, last modified: Sun May 7 04:18:15 2000, os: Unix
OK, dann ist das wohl echt kaputt. Du hast das Archiv aber nicht zufällig im ASCII-Modus übertragen? Aus http://www.gzip.org/#faq1 gunzip complains about corrupted data or a CRC error 99.9% of the problems with gzip are due to file transfers done in ASCII mode instead of BINARY mode. In particular, gopher is known to corrupt binary files by considering them as ASCII. Make sure that your local copy of the file has exactly the same byte size as the original. If you have transferred a file in ASCII mode and you no longer have access to the original, you can try the program fixgz (http://www.gzip.org/fixgz.c) to remove the extra CR (carriage return) bytes inserted by the transfer. A Windows 95/98/NT binary is here. But there is absolutely no guarantee that this will actually fix your file. Conclusion: never transfer binary files in ASCII mode. To compile fixgz and run it, do: cc -o fixgz fixgz.c fixgz bad.gz fixed.gz gzip -tv fixed.gz Vielleicht hilft das ja...
