Guess I was not clear

the page indeed does not re-direct

but when one goes to download the application

it redirects to Sourceforge


I am sure the OP can figure out how to do a Google search

I was just leading him to a decent application

It sounds a little like your HOSTS file has been hosed or some malware is
floating around somewhere else because that link takes me right to their
Download page. If 7zip is in your HOSTS file it shouldn't be, and it
shouldn't be redirecting to the .org you indicated. Check that all entries
have the 1270.0.01 in the left column if you think it was your hosts file.

Or:
Winzip will unzip it .GZ: TAR, Z, GZ, TAZ, and TGZ
Try the free version. It can't create those though: unzip only so far. I
don't know about 7zip.
