IMHO there are two different gzip compressions applied, one for the file and one
for the transfer.  If you have new enough wget, then downloading it with
--compression auto (experimental in 1.19.5) should create valid txt.gz files
that you can just gunzip [1] cleanly without errors.

[1] Usually when I think of some stupid joke (or maybe just stupidity in this
    case) it already exists on the internet.  But now either my google-fu is
    weak with me or there is no picture of a gun with a zipper on it.  So I
    can't attach any Gun Zip picture :(
