Try using tar xvfj <tarfile.bz2 to decompress this file.  You may have 
to install the bzip2 compression package.  bBzip2 is basically 30% 
better than gzip for text files, while gzip is a little better than 
bzip2 for binaries.  For text files, bzip2 will usually compress files 
up to 80%, where gzip only goes up to about 50%, so bz2 is basically 
better for sourcecode packages.  HTH,
