Your attached file doesn't seem to be a valid zip file. Also, note that the result of `tell` on a file opened in text mode is documented [1] as being an opaque integer; there is no guarantee that the result of `tell` has any relation to the number of characters read from the file. `tell` on a binary file does return the exact position of the cursor in the file, though.
