I seem to get that with Chromium too.

The HTTP response for cmake-3.3.0.tar.gz does contain:
	Content-Encoding: x-gzip

Which I think does tell clients that they should decompress to get the 
actual content which is declared to be of 
Content-Type:"application/x-gzip"; this is I think incorrect unless the 
HTTP server compresses the .tar.gz once more with gzip before delivery.

For cmake-3.3.0.zip of "Content-Type: application/zip" there is no 
"Content-Encoding" field in the HTTP response.

Maybe other clients have workarounds for these kinds of errors?
