.tar .gz torrent

Can anyone tell me how to open this file on an intel Mac running Lion? Stuffit Expander doesn't do it.

StuffIt Expander or UnRarX or The Unarchiver or iZip

Thanks, Stuffit Expander didn't work ("A failure has occurred. Stuffit Exapnder was unable to determine the file format") but I'll try some of the others

Linux ISO no doubt?

I suspect these torrent files either have a payload designed for windows users or are just corrupt.

That's too bad. There is information I really could have used. I have an old PC I never use anymore and I might try it. Many Thanks

I agree it is very frustrating to download that 1GB+ Lunix ISO or even worse 5GB Wikipedia dump and find you can't open it. Careful about infecting your PC with that viral payload.

tar -xzvf filename.tar.gz at the command line. Maybe
