If one file is corrupted then it is very likely that other files
are also affected.

The README mentions a known issue when using WinZip for unpacking:

    You can use a tool like WinZip, GNU tar/gzip etc.
    Beware of your download or unpacking tool trying to do clever
    modifications of the file contents!  E.g. with WinZip be sure to
    disable Options->Configurations->Smart Tarfile CR/LF Conversion.

In the past, we have also had issues with Windows ftp clients
corrupting the files, but I think those were fixed.
Please make sure that your eclipse_basic.tgz file has exactly
6822110 bytes, and in case you have used WinZip, try again with
the above mentioned option disabled, or try a different unpacking
tool.
