Unable to download the Tycho 2 Star Catalog

[Jasem Mutlaq]

Hello Ben,

I took a look at the files and they are indeed valid and match the ones
downloaded on Linux. I used bunzip2 on Mac and was able to verify the
content just fine. So this is a KF5/KF6 framework issue on MacOS only that
affects bz2 files for some reason. From our side, we don't mind compressing
these using standard .tar.gz and then re-uploading them to the CDN.
