If you have problems with .gz files (Gzip-compressed), do not downlad them using a browser (such as Internet Explorer). Use a download helper as filezilla or wget. Then, uncompress the files using the gunzip program.
Example commands:
% wget http://barcelona.research.yahoo.net/webspam/datasets/uk2006/links/uk-2006-05.hostgraph.txt.gz --2011-01-12 05:31:32-- http://barcelona.research.yahoo.net/webspam/datasets/uk...
