      Hi all, noob here. As I wait for my Raspberry Pi 3 to arrive, I'm trying to gunzip the Retropie SD-card image from https://retropie.org.uk/download. But gunzipping is failing on my MAC OSX laptop and a Fedora server with an unexpected EOF.

      [~/Downloads]$ gunzip retropie-v3.8.1-rpi2_rpi3.img.gz
      gunzip: retropie-v3.8.1-rpi2_rpi3.img.gz: unexpected end of file
      gunzip: retropie-v3.8.1-rpi2_rpi3.img.gz: uncompress failed
      

      I went to GitHub and even tried the https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/releases/download/4.0-rc1/retropie-4.0-rc1-rpi2_rpi3.img.gz file and got the same results.

      Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

        I think it must be a problem your end unless you somehow got a faulty github cdn ? I just downloaded and unpacked that file fine.

          @BuZz Thanks buzz. I'm away from home but when I get back, I will see if I'm getting 302 redirected to a CDN and will also post my MD5 checksums.

            All the downloads come from a CDN - github uses amazonaws for hosting releases. No need to post your current md5sum as your images are definitely incomplete as they are currently - but I can provide you with a correct md5sum of an image

              For my own notes. Downloading incomplete img.gz files

              MD5 (retropie-4.0-rc1-rpi2_rpi3.img.gz) = af59e8a0623690324b95d94d113b005a
              MD5 (retropie-v3.8.1-rpi2_rpi3.img.gz) = a8d4e5cc12fd4336c9ea9a12b34b1543
