Dear freesurfer experts,

I download freesurfer CentOS 6 version and my PC is CentOS 6.5 version. When I decompression it, I get error message:

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated

tar: Unexpected EOF in archive

tar: Unexpected EOF in archive

tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

I wonder why I get this error message and how to correct it ?

Sincerely

JLH
