Hi,
I'm trying to track down why I'm getting this bzip decompression error when I decompress SeaWiFS L1 files I've downloaded from http://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/SeaWiFS/L1/1998/345/:

    bunzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing.
       Input file = S1998345160236.L1A_MLAC.bz2, output file = S1998345160236.L1A_MLAC

       It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
       You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.

       You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.

       bunzip2: Deleting output file S1998345160236.L1A_MLAC, if it exists.

When I do bunzip2 -tvv, I get the following:

     bunzip2 -tvv S1998345160236.L1A_MLAC.bz2
     S1998345160236.L1A_MLAC.bz2:
     [1: huff+mtf rt+rld]
     [2: huff+mtf rt+rld]
     ...
     [143: huff+mtf rt+rld]
     [144: huff+mtf data integrity (CRC) error in data

You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover
data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.

The filesize should be 91929997 bytes. Once downloaded, it is 91930657 bytes.

I get the same problem when I use curl.

Hardware Platform: MacBook Pro
Operating system: Mac OS X Lion (Mac OS X 10.7.2)
Browser: Safari 5.1.2

Any ideas you have would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Maxime

Maxime,

That file is obsolete.  Try getting this one: S1998345160239.L1A_MLAC.bz2
