Hello,

I just tested this using the following command and it worked as expected:

./rally --distribution-version 1.7.3 --track geopoint

The tarball that Rally downloaded can be found under ~/.rally/benchmarks/distributions and you can verify the integrity of the download with a command like tar zxvf elasticsearch-1.7.3.tar.gz. If the download is corrupt, you should retry again ensuring a stable internet connection or have a look at the section describing how to use Rally in the offline mode.

Note that if you've used an older version of Rally before, it'd be best, after making a backup, to clean your ~/.rally dir and re-run ./rally configure as there have been changes in the rally-teams repository wrt handling of Java.
