There are quite a few programs which can do this, amongst them lynx
and wget.  The libwww-perl library comes with a program GET which also
does this.

All of the programs I mentioned run under various Unices.  I guess
that most Linux distributions and free BSDs provide an easy-to-install
add-on package for each of the programs.  Commercial Unices probably
do not come with those programs, so you would have to (compile and)
install them yourself.

Based on the name, I'd guess you should use tar:

tar xf snarf-latest_tar

Hello,

Yes. You guess a right file. But I use the tar command to extract the file.
Some message will be prompt and list as below :

/*
tar: Cannot identify format. Searching...
tar: Cpio file name length 5760 is out of range
tar: Invalid header, starting valid header search.
tar: Cpio file name length 39237 is out of range
tar: Cpio file name length 61438 is out of range
tar: Cpio file name length 11259 is out of range
tar: Cpio file name length 29493 is out of range
tar: End of archive volume 1 reached

ATTENTION! tar archive volume change required.
Ready for archive volume: 2
Input archive name or "." to quit tar.
Archive name > .
Quitting tar!
tar: Premature end of file on archive read
*/

Please help how to solve it.

Thank you.
