I'm curious if this is a bad thing:

------------------------------------------------------------------
xdsl014% cat /home/czyz/distrib/syssrc.tgz | gunzip | tar xvpf -
usr/src/sys
usr/src/sys/CVS
usr/src/sys/CVS/Entries
...
...snipping a bit so you don't have to read through 10 pages of files...
...
usr/src/usr.sbin/dbsym/dbsym.8
usr/src/usr.sbin/dbsym/dbsym.c
usr/src/usr.sbin/dbsym/dbtest.c

gunzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error
xdsl014% 
------------------------------------------------------------------

So my question is, "how bad is this?". 

My second questions is, "is dbtest.c the last file that should have
been extracted from the tarball, or am I missing files?".

My third question is "why does this keep happening to me. I've
repeatedly downloaded the NetBSD 1.4.1 syssrc.tgz tarball from
ftp.netbsd.org, using ncftp, Netscape, and the stock NetBSD ftp
client, and each time I run into this exact same result.

Thanks for any help or info.
