This error does not present when I utilize the Input Data tool to read the file from my local machine, because of the gzip format option. Does anyone know a way to read a gzip file with the Amazon S3 Download Tool?

check the box that says "Treat Read Errors as Warnings"

If I check that box, the file does get read in but it looks like everything stays as encrypted.

I resolved the issue, by utilizing a python script to de-crypt the meta data of the file.

Could you share your script for decryption?
