gzip & tar can't deal with some .tar.gz?

I encountered an error using atool (or plain gzip & tar) to extract a .tar.gz:

$ atool -x setuptools.src.tar.gz 

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
atool: tar ...: non-zero return-code

setuptools.src.tar.gz can be found in AUR. What's wrong with that?

Looks like a corrupt download/upload...
