Unexpected EOF in R-patched_2017-01-30

Hello.

When trying to unpack today's version of R-patched, I get the following error:

C:\R>tar -xf R-patched_2017-01-30.tar.gz

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

I got the same error for R-patched_2017-01-30.tar.gz but not for R-3.3.2.tar.gz.

Thank you,

Avi

Also, while passing z is not in the instructions given in Installation
and Administration [1], I tried passing -xzf and it did not work. I
believe f has to be last if the file name follows immediately.

Thanks,
