Some tar.gz files are reported as invalid by TAR Plugin (TAR 3.21 BETA 10).
Samples:
http://www2.mindrot.org/files/flashboot ... ha1.tar.gz
with message "Invalid block in GZip stream encountered"
and
http://www2.mindrot.org/files/flashboot ... ist.tar.gz
with
"Unexpected data in compressed stream".

tar and gzip from cygwin extract this without complains.
Probably these one have some kind of extended headers, becouse file utility says:
flashboot-0.9alpha1-bindist.tar.gz: gzip compressed data, extra field, from Unix
flashboot-0.9alpha1.tar.gz: gzip compressed data, extra field, from Unix

For other files it says rather:
cvs.tgz: gzip compressed data, from Unix

Indeed, there was a problem in skipping the extra field.
Just fixed for Salamander 2.5 Beta 11 (to be released in about a week). Thank you for reporting this problem!
