Did you get it from New Hampshire?  Maybe the wires are frozen. You can
also download the file from more sunny places:

  http://neurodeb.pirsquared.org/vm/neurodebian_6.0.1_amd64.zip

  (that is pretty much next door to you)

Uh! I'm never sure with these Apple devices, but don't they uncompress
automatically upon download?

That is a zip file. Tar does not speak zip.

[ I guess the rest is all caused by a broken file ]

Could you please check whether the md5sum of your file matches this one:

Thanks,
