I also experienced the same problem for quite some time but I figured out you can use GitBash to unzip the data. just open Gitbash inside the folder where you downloaded the data by right-clicking and selecting gitbash (you must have it installed). then type in the command cat 20bn-jester-v1-?? | tar zx. Press enter and you are done.

As you can read on the web site:

The video data is provided as one large TGZ archive, split into parts of 1 GB max

so you need to combine the files and the extract. the command like this can help you:

cat 20bn-jester-v1-??|gzip -dc|tar xf -

cat is used to combine all parts in one file, then gzip to decompress the file and on the end tar to extract the file(s)
