Question #78858 on tar in ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tar/+question/78858

    Status: Needs information => Open

Jeff the novice gave more information on the question:
The link is http://files.hamachi.cc/linux

However I have the same problem with the file for Mozilla Thunderbird as
follows:-

Reading the archive
'/home/jeffery/Downloads/thunderbird-2.0.0.22.tar.gz' failed with the
error 'The archive reading failed with message: Unrecognized archive
format: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character'

I tried the Terminal command as suggested and it returned the
following:-

effery@jeffery-laptop:~/Downloads$ tar -xzvf hamachi-0.9.9-20-lnx.tar.gz
tar: hamachi-0.9.9-20-lnx.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Thank you
