I THINK, but don't quote me on this, that the file is not
uncompressed, but the filename has dropped the .gz
extension. Just go ahead and gunzip it like normal (you
might need to rename it back to a .gz file first, but I
don't think so) and I think you'll be in business (IF you
downloaded with the Shift-Left click, that is).
