4.1.0 Install Error: Corrupt extract_exe.bz2


I'm using Win95 and am trying to install Cygwin/XFree86. bunzip2 thinks
extract_exe.bz2 is corrupt:

<snip>
$ bunzip2 extract_exe.bz2
bunzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing.
        Input file = extract_exe.bz2, output file = extract_exe
It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.

After searching the entire cygwin-xfree archive it seems there is some
knowledge of this problem but I couldn't find a solution described
anywhere.

Note: I used Netscape 4.7 (my company has a firewall precluding direct
FTP) and was careful to right-click to save each file. I tried using IE
5.5 to access the mirrors but it seems unable to access any of them
through our firewall--the browser seems to hang when I access FTP sites
outside our firewall (browsing outside the firewall works fine--I use IE
all the time).

If Netscape is incapable of downloading extract_exe.bz2, I'd appreciate
suggestions on configuring IE to fix the FTP protocol timeouts.

Thanks a lot,
Bruce

P.S. I note that the file documented as extract.exe.bz2 in the User's
Guide is actually named extract_exe.bz2 in /tmp
