It looks as if using 'Multiple Views' in the apache setup means that you
can effectively download a file even leaving off the extension .. in
your case, it left off the tar.gz but allowed you to download that file
anyway.

We are looking at changing the apache configuration to prevent this type
of thing in the future.

As an example:

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-7-x86_64-Everything-1511

that pulls down the .torrent file even though there is no .torrent

The bottom line is, please download the .raw.tar.gz file and not the
.raw file and we are working on the configs.
