A *.tgz file is commonly a TAR-Gziped file, you can uncompress with tar -xvzf but if you are getting an error could be the file is corrupted. What data do you want? The genomic data is located here: ftp://ftp.ensemblgenomes.org/pub/bacteria/release-46/fasta/bacteria_174_collection/lactobacillus_gasseri/dna/
