Perhaps they've fixed it, but it's compressed here. See `=='.

379,785 bytes arrive, decompressing into 1,699,840. Could your HTTP
client be decompressing it without you asking? It shouldn't be AIUI, as
it isn't `Transfer-Encoding: gzip', but Content-Encoding.

`c' is tar(1)'s option to create the tar file.
