There's an error in the file you downloaded; downloading it again should solve the problem.

I just downloaded the file and decompressed it without problems.  The file I downloaded has a md5 checksum of

38531442d30a3498009a2edc848a1656

and has a length of 2662068 bytes.

Run md5sum on your file and see if it matches. Maybe it would be good to have these attributes on the file download?
