Hi all,

Im trying to extract a tar file (not a tar.gz) with tar xvf file, also
tried tar xf file. Both are throwing EOF in archive errors. Its
suggested I try the download in binary, problem is the file is on a
webpage and Im not sure how to pull it off from there. Anyone know how
to pull a file from a http site via binary?

Thanks
Kyle
