curl -L http://download.transmissionbt.com/files/transmission-2.80.tar.xz -s -o - | tar -xf -
The error:
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
However when I do this, It can extract the archive:
curl -LO http://download.transmissionbt.com/files/transmission-2.80.tar.xz
tar xf transmission-2.80.tar.xz
Why did the pipe not work?
