[mythtv-users] huh.. mythtv .10 .tar.tar

[Ben Bucksch]

I think the mimetype that the server sends is wrong or suboptimal. It 
sends "Content-Type: application/x-tar" without any content-encoding. It 
should send
Content-Type: application/x-tar
Content-Encoding: x-bzip2
The server admin (Isaac?) should add
AddEncoding x-bzip2 bz2
to modules.conf, below the other AddEncoding options.

I don't know, if that fixes the problem, though, I think it's a 
Windows-only problem.

In the meantime, use Mozilla on Linux or wget or snarf or whatever or 
just rename the file.

It's not a zipfile, it's a tar.bz2, so
mv mythtv.0.10.tar.tar mythtv.0.10.tar.bz2
and use
tar xjf mythtv.0.10.tar.bz2
or
tar xIf mythtv.0.10.tar.bz2
or similar.


BTW: Please cut your quotes to the minimum!
