tar unpack : Unexpected EOF in archive

I have downloaded eclipse-platform-3.7-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz.

Using Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit on Intel 64-bit processor.

While trying to unpack the contents (either double-click or right-click & open-with-archive-manager) I get this error:

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file<br/>
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive<br/> 
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Is there any remedy to repair it? or is the downloaded file corrupt & needs to be re-downloaded?

By the looks of you haven't gotten the entire archive downloaded. Try to download it again and have another go at it.

I just had a go with it. Downloaded the file from the eclipse site. The link I got was http://eclipse.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/eclipse//eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.7-201106131736/eclipse-platform-3.7-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz. This file checks out ok on md5sum and extracts without any problems.
