Switch to Linux?

Asterisk is developed on Linux, most installations are on Linux, most of 
the users on this list use Linux -- specifically CentOS.

If you're determined, committed, or should be committed...

The "file" command may give you a clue. For example:

 	-t2::sedwards:~$ file example.gz
 	example.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix, ...

If "file" doesn't say the file is "gzip compressed data" you have download 
issues. Personally, I like to copy the URL from the web page and use 
"wget" to download files.
