Could it be that your Windows(?) version of tar (or the file system or ???) is the problem? Or the file was corrupted during download?

It worked for me at home but not at work. I will email my work the copy I have at home. It could have been something with our connectivity or firewall. My home copy of 1-31 is also 388b607afe732c92442dbb49845fe377. I'll check the work ones tomorrow, or should I say later today.
