Unzipping files downloaded from the Arxiv server

I want to download the source Tex files (not the pdf) of this document:

http://arxiv.org/abs/1306.0322

After downloading here, I get a weird file with the ".0322v3" (the second part of the doc code) extension. I've tried renaming the file using a .tar.gz or .gz extension, which I haven't been able to decompress with Winrar. "There was an error at the end of file".

I was having the same trouble, until I noticed that the file I was trying to open was a plain .tex (without the extension). – Jairo Bochi – 2019-01-31T17:02:28.007

You can use this page to convert the tar.gz file into a zip file. It will output a file that you can open in windows.. even if you have that extension problem.

I had the same problem an i could open the .tex inside with this workaround.

1The trap here is that the received file isn't compressed, it"s a plain TAR archive. 7zip explodes it without fuss. – xenoid – 2017-07-30T21:53:49.797
