I grabbed that file and put into /tmp. I then gunzipped un-tarred and configured and made. It worked, but surely the distfiles methods is easiest. Have you resolved the truncated downloads? I would make sure that is not an issue prior to installing from the gz. You sure don't want the further aggravation of some file broken while installing.
