Unzipping Large ZIP Archives on Mac (like latest Microsoft Edge VM)

Question

After trying to unzip the latest Microsoft Edge Vm zip file on my mac I end up with a *.cpgz file.

Its supposed to result in a *.ova file for virtualBox.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Running the following worked great (ditto is installed by default):

Answer 2

Tar worked for me e.g. tar -xvf MSEdge.Win10_RS1.VirtualBox.zip
