I've tried downloading 2 compressed tar files - one a tar.bz2 and one a tar.gz.
Both of these get stored in the decompressed form.

For example firefox-0.8.tar.gz would be stored to the file firefox-0.8.tar.gz,
but it would be "tar" file, not a gzipped tar.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download a compressed tar file
2. Try decompressing the file

Actual Results:  
"tar zxvf <filename>" and "tar jxvf" will fail complaining about the file not
being a valid gzip/bzip2 file

Expected Results:  
Should have stored a properly compressed file.
