I downloaded them simply by clicking on the links in Chrome on CentOS 
Linux. Some friends using Chrome on Windows have also reported the same. 
I also have gotten the same result with Firefox.

However when I download the files via wget, they check out fine.

I suspect that the web server is doing an extra gzip compression of the 
content if the browser presents an Accept-Encoding:gzip header. It looks 
like the server is responding with a Content-Encoding:gzip header, which 
means the browser should decompress it on the fly, but it looks like 
that's not happening for whatever reason. Disabling gzip compression of 
non-plain text MIME types on the server should fix the problem.
