Try issuing the command:
tar -tzf<filename>
That should tell you if there is something wrong with the .tgz file that you
have downloaded. As far as the idea of writing the disks on another computer,
it is along the idea that in some cases, the drive becomes minutely damaged
thus causing a problem with the direct sector by sector/track by track copy of
data to the diskettes. However, personally I would recommend running the above
test command on the .tgz file first to find out if, perhaps, you did get a bad
copy of the file (Couldn't hurt anything to check)
