I first tried with lftp -c get "https://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/14.1/office/libreoffice-helppack.tar.gz"; It does download something but tar complains that it's not a gzip archive when trying to open it and I tried with wget, it worked well. The file I downloaded with lftp is ~ 10 KB, and the one with wget is ~ 2.6 KB. No need to mention that their md5 are different. I get the same problem with all the other files I tried to download with lftp from "https://slackbuilds/org", but I have not noticed any problem on the few other https repositories I tried such as "https://www.kernel.org/pub" and a few archlinux mirrors I found on their website.

Please try a current lftp version (the newest is 4.7.1). The problem is
automatic uncompressing entities with "Content-Encoding: gzip". The
workaround was added in lftp version 4.5.6.

You can also do "set http:decode false" to disable uncompressing.
