[racket] handin-server install problem: gnu-gunzip bad header

Is he giving a URL to DrRacket? If so could there be something operating at
the network layer (a proxy maybe) that gets in the way?

A simple thing to try is visit the URL in a browser, save the file and then
give DrRacket the path to the file (in that same dialog box).
