pretrained weight files aren't able to decompress

[Andrei Amatuni]

I've tried to decompress the pretrained weights files using a few different methods - built-in macOS decompressor in Finder, terminal based tar utility, as well as the Unarchiver app on macOS. I've also tried using the CLI tar utility on Google Colab where I keep running into a similar error:

macOS tar CLI: tar: Error opening archive: Unrecognized archive format
On Google Colab CLI: tar: This does not look like a tar archive

I'm trying to use the UCF101 dataset and weights. Are these weights compressed using a special method? I'd appreciate any and all help with this.

Just do weights = torch.load('filename.pth.tar', map_location='cpu')

looks like that works, thank you!
