I can confirm this problem (just downloaded the tarball, around 3 p.m. 
U.S. Central time). File size is 82,342 bytes and I get the same MD5 sum 
reported by Dalibor. Same error message when I try to gunzip the file. 
But if I just use GNU tar to gunzip & untar it in one shot, i.e.

     [jlj@rorschach tmp]$ tar xzf ../fox-tool-0.9.0-preview.tar.gz

I still get errors:

     gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error
     tar: Child returned status 1
     tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors


but it does create a new 'fox-tool' subdirectory, and the code therein 
*seems* to work properly after you take care of the various file name 
problems as reported by Joel VanderWerf in a separate post.
