I just downloaded that url, and ran "tar ztvf openswan-2.1.1.tar.gz" on it
without any problems. It looks like something on your end. Perhaps a browser
problem, or even a bad memory problem? It's a bit odd that the gunzip works
fine.

You can try and use an ftp client, and download the file from:

ftp://ftp.openswan.org/openswan/openswan-2.1.1.tar.gz

That would exclude any browser bugs.
