Ok your problem HERE !!!!
"Netscape" has a habit to change the NAME of the file and it is a real
reason
for your troubles.

Could you RENAME the file above and try WinZip'ed it again
since the real name of the file (pay your attention)

root_v2_20_x86_windows_NT.tar.gz

not
root_v2_20_x86_windows_NT_tar.tar

Just rename the file or use another Web browser or use the "plain" ftp

ftp root.cern.ch
ftp > cd root
ftp > ls

Hope this helps
