You seemed to be a little confused - Linux-il is an Israeli mailing list
that doesn't have anything to do with the script you tried to download from
that server in Finland.

The error you made has nothing to do with the site of download:
tar.gz files (or tgz as they sometime knows as) is to be opend with the tar
and gzip programs and NOT with gunzip (which is for ZIP files only)

The syntax is as follows (at least for GNU tar, other versions exist as
well) :
tar -zxvf js-0.2.4.tar.gz

Please note that this list is not a place to ask these kinds questions. If
you have similar questions in the future, please send them directly to me at
gilad@benyossef.com and don't bother this list about them or even better -
try to get some good book about Unix/Linux basics and read it.

Thanks,
Gilad.
