Unable to download the Tycho 2 Star Catalog

[Jasem Mutlaq]

Hello Ben,

Sure, this is what I see in the logs:

[2024-12-10T06:21:13.226 +03 CRIT ][              kf.newstuff.core] - Could
not determine type of archive file '
"/private/var/folders/gd/gv1tcqtj1rg8jjp35966_wx00000gn/T/pThSyQ-sky_images-1.4.tar.bz2"
'

"/private/var/folders/gd/gv1tcqtj1rg8jjp35966_wx00000gn/T/zEpHoe-thumbnails-1.3.tar.bz2"
'

So it's an issue with bz2 specifically? I support we can re-upload all as
tar.gz
