Subject: [9fans] vmware image corrupt?

Has anyone else had problems decompressing the vmware image from the
additional software page
of the plan9 site?

Using bunzip2 version 1.0.1 23-June-2000 on redhat linux 7.2, I get
bunzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing.
	Input file = vmware.tar.bz2, output file = vmware.tar

Using the -tvv as suggested in the error message,  I get
   vmware.tar.bz2:     [1: huff+mtf rt+rld]
     [2: huff+mtf rt+rld]
     [3: huff+mtf rt+rld]
     [4: huff+mtf data integrity (CRC) error in data

You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover
data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.

Using bzip2recover and bzip2 -t on the individual blocks gives:

  rec0083vmware.tar.bz2:     [1: huff+mtf rt+rld]
     ok
   rec0084vmware.tar.bz2:     [1: huff+mtf rt+rld]data integrity (CRC)

for blocks 4, 8, 12, 49, 80, 84, 86, 87 ...

This problem has occured on 3 separate download attempts.

Any thought?
