Hi,  
I downloaded the RC1 archives from  
[https://vtk.org/download/](https://vtk.org/download/)  
and both the tar.gz and the zip seem broken:

[~/Downloads]$ tar xzf VTK-9.0.0.rc1.tar.gz  
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive  
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive  
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Also, there is no tag for this RC1 in the git repo. @ben.boeckel @TJ_Corona @Dave_DeMarle

Thanks Dan, we’ll fix it up tomorrow. I’ll take down the links in the meantime.

The new (working) tarballs should be up now. I need to make the `.zip` files yet.
