It's a bug in IE.  Simply rename the file to findutils-4.2.25.tar.gz,
its contents are actually intact.

WinZip should recognize it once you rename it.

Alternatively, look for djtarnt.exe, it can untar and unzip .tar.gz
files in one go.

I'm assuming you are on Windows.  If not, once you rename the file,
use `tar' and `gzip' to untar it, like this:

    gzip -d -c findutils-4.2.25.tar.gz | tar xf -
