Re: Problem with snortrules unpacking.

I cannot replicate the issue.  It downloads fine for me.

So when I try to open the snortrules-snapshot-2990.tar.gz file I get the
following error:

$tar -zxvf snortrules-snapshot-2990.tar.gz

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Using the community rules file works just fine.

Another thing I noticed was that the checksums on the website and the
downloaded file don't match but the community file does.

On the site: *7*ea512954770ad925b784167c5e7a77b
snortrules-snapshot-2990.tar.gz

Downloaded: b271b245c13eb3b9fc9360d81e728daf snortrules-snapshot-2990.tar.gz

So I don't know if it has something to do with that or maybe I'm just bad
at computers.

Running CentOS 7 if that matters.
