The .tar.bz2 file is fine.

I think this is because Content-Encoding: gzip is set by the server.
This causes wget to decompress the gzip'ed data (even though wget
didn't request with Accept-Encoding: gzip).

You can try a different HTTP client which won't attempt to decompress
blindly (or a different version/build of wget).

seems the file is correct. I bet you have problems on your internet access, such as wget(1).
