Code: Select all

tfoerste@n22 ~/tmp $ display c4cw_image04_6.13.tga 
display: improper image header `c4cw_image04_6.13.tga' @ error/tga.c/ReadTGAImage/209.

Your file is not downloadable as is. The page just shows text. Try uploading it somewhere.

Well, bad idea to paste a binary file, therefore I uuencoded it : http://paste.pocoo.org/show/282761/
With the use of uudecode you can derive the tga image from that file.

It would be best to upload your file unchanged to some free hosting location so that one can download the file as is without having to copy text and convert it. Every change you make or we make by downloading and converting has the possibility of causing trouble so that one cannot tell where you real problem lies.

every image viewer I have (on my Mac) says your file is corrupt. so perhaps it is corrupt and not conforming to tga format.

Ok, thx so I'll inform that BOINC project team...
