Unable to download the Tycho 2 Star Catalog

[Ömer Fadıl USTA]

Hello,

It seems that macOS systems might not accept the application/x-bzip MIME
type for bzip2 files, and they may be specifically checking for
application/x-bzip2. Additionally, application/x-bzip-compressed-tar might
need to be updated to include application/x-bzip2-compressed-tar while
still retaining the original application/x-bzip and
application/x-bzip-compressed-tar for backward compatibility.

Therefore, we may need to add two more lines to the following section:
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/knewstuff/-/blame/master/src/core/installation.cpp#L376
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/knewstuff/-/blame/master/src/core/installation.cpp#L379

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Best regards,
