Upon downloading a taz.gz file I and a friend have noticed that when we extract
the file there is nothing in the file, file size is wrong too.
We have also noticed that the file name is also sometimes renamed as tar.gz.tar.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. download a *.tar.gz file
2. try to extract it using Winace
3.

Actual Results:  
file is empty

Expected Results:  
extracted the file

no other information.

Probably the file is getting uncompressed on the fly, so renaming it to .tar
should be a workaround.
