bunzip 2 help

I'm trying to run bunzip2 using the command:

bunzip2 ut*

to extract a file. I'm just left with a new blank line and I can't do anything but quit bunzip2 with a control+c.

Am I using bunzip wrong?

its a bzip file not a tar ...
use the bunzip2 command ...



*edit*
seems like you figured it out before i posted
and maybe you just didn't let it finished yet, cause i assume that it must be a good sized file ... maybe it'll take a sec ..


*edit*

lol, edit again ...
seems like you figured it all out

Nevermind. I got it.

It seems that if you just wait, you win. Patience is a nice thing to have.
