gzip -df files.tar.gz results in

        gzip: files.tar.gz: invalid compressed data--format violated

zcat -d files.tar.gx

        zcat: oolfiles.tar.gz: invalid compressed data--format
violated

I might ad that the original drive with the data is dead as in will
not power up. I am only working with the ftp'd tarball. Which was to
be the backup in lieu of the hd failing.
