boinc_5.10.21_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh fails with "invalid compressed data--format violated"

I downloaded the latest boinc install, boinc_5.10.21_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh and did this:

chmod 700 boinc_5.10.21_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
./boinc_5.10.21_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh

Then I got the errors:

tar: Skipping to next header

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

What should I do/

Is it possible the file didn't download correctly? Check the file size.

File size reported as:

-rwx------ 1 root root 2126696 2007-11-29 16:46 boinc_5.10.21_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh

Is this correct?
