Hi, I download anope1.7.14 and have it on my shell.  I tried to unzip anope but it said "unrecognized archive format".  Can anyone please help?

Thank you.

Anope doesn't ship in a .zip format for *n?x. It ships in tar.gz format which upacks with tar and/or gzip.

yes, that's what i mean, I tried all the command for tar but it doesn't work.  it said the same error msg.

have you tried "tar -xzf anope-1.x.x.tar.gz" or w/e the name of the archive is

I have anope-1.7.14.tar.gz on my shell.  I did try tar -xzf anope-1.7.14.tar.gz and I got the same error "Unrecognized archive format: Inappropriate file type or format
".

I used to get that message, when i have a slow connection (56k dialup) and can hardly download the file. first remove the file, and then download the file again (i don't recommend uploading the .tar.gz from FTP clients, instead, downlaod it from your shell promtp)

next do, tar -zxvf anope-1.7.14.tar.gz

this is how i used to do and works fine for me on FreeBSD
