Nothing wrong with ports. Just csup'd 2 machines and all is fine.

This smacks of either you downloaded a corrupt file or it was corrupted 
during decompression. If the former others will experience same, if the 
latter it's either your hardware or your software. Test out gzip on some 
compressed file you know you've ungzipped before. Overclocking and 
overheated CPU/RAM, or other forms of intermittent glitches (excessive 
ripple under load on an aged power supply) can play havoc with decompression 
programs.
