I've renamed it xen-2.0-src.tar and tar xvf - it and it untarred
satisfactorily.

Somehow it's being ungzipped while being downloaded - it's my problem, not
anyone else's.

//
I'm downloading the xen-2.0-src.tgz and xen-2.0-install.tgz from
unc.dl.sourceforge.net.

I was told that xen-2.0-src.tgz had finished downloading; when I took a look
at it, tar told me it wasn't gzipped, error, furthermore, it was now at 7.9
MB after being downloaded as a 1.9 MB file.

There's a problem here, I just don't know what it is.

Any ideas?

Your browser is spotting it's a gzip file and "helpfully"
ungzip'ing it for you. Unfortunately it's not bright enough to
realise that it should transform the .tgz extension into .tar.

I guess it's arguable that we should rename our tar balls to
.tar.gz (or .tar.bz2) to work around this confusion.
