Tar of Linux Kernel corrupted error while untaring

0

I have downloaded two versions of Linux kernel 3.9.9 and 3.10 from kernel.org. When I am trying to untar this file I am getting this error

Lzma library error: Corrupted input data

. I am not getting what is going wrong. I am sure that my downloaded file is not corrupted because I have downloaded this file for 3 times and in all 3 instances I get the same error. Can anyone suggest me what should I do to untar this file? I am using Ubuntu 13.04. Thank you.

1What are the URLs and the commands you executed? – pilona – 2013-07-10T17:59:48.330

this is the link where from I downloaded the file https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-3.10.tar.xz

– iammurtaza – 2013-07-10T18:02:49.670

and for untaring I just used Archive Manager that comes pre-installed in Ubuntu – iammurtaza – 2013-07-10T18:03:31.640

Works for me. Not on Ubuntu. Just using tar 'directly'. – pilona – 2013-07-10T18:38:44.043

wget -O- https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-3.10.tar.xz | tar -xJ – pilona – 2013-07-10T18:39:22.043

Can you give me the SHA-512 of the file please? – pilona – 2013-07-10T18:56:45.557

Open a terminal and do this: 

tar xvf linux-3.10.tar.xz

I tried out this earlier but it does not work. It gives following error: xz: (stdin): Compressed data is corrupt tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now – iammurtaza – 2013-07-10T23:18:01.383
