It's because you used IE to download them.  Snag them with _any_ other
browser and they don't get uncompressed on the fly.

The files are really a .tar.gz file which was uncompressed into a .tar
file.  IE managed to mangle the filename and convert it into .tar.tar.
Take off one .tar and you'll be good to go.

Oh, and go get Opera [0].  It'll save you from Internet Exploder.  :)
