Sorry, I'm ignorant as usual. And now that I've fired up my Windows machine, I can't reproduce what R. Dyer's talking about. I have seen it before, though. Maybe in Netscape 7.0 or 7.1.

What version of Windows are you running?
What compression tools do you have installed?

I am running only stock Windows XP with WinZIP installed. I've tried it on 3 machines at work and mine at home. With IE it always comes out "...tar.tar". Firefox and Netscape do save it correctly as "...tar.bz2", and claim it is a WinZip file, but WinZIP can't open it. WinZIP 9 says "invalid archive".

As to the comment on "better" compression. We're only saving about 2 meg here. Look at the 1.3.8400 release, where it was in "tar.gz" and "tar.bz2". Is 2 meg really all that important in the scheme of things? It's just a little more than a floppy. Is someone trying to download over 28.8 bps?
