People arent dumb, just inexperienced.

Make sure the file you downloaded has the correct size

try breaking it down into 2 steps, that give you more info on whats wrong.
eg
gunzip busybox-0.60.2.tar.gz
tar -xf busybox-0.60.2.tar

Busybox has a debian package in woody (testing), dependencies will
probably require you to upgrade your glibc though... you should consider
upgrading to woody :)
