FWIW, I too have seen this problem on download, but I just thought it
was a freak accident (actually, I saw it once on my own PC and again on
my admin's PC). Both times I just renamed the extension, and it worked

He didn't make a typo, I downloaded the same file and it also had the
tar.tar extension. That server has a glitch in their pipeline somewhere.

On occasion, tar files I download have an extra "tar" appended to their
extension. I am not certain why. Nevertheless, when this happens, you
may see filenames like:
*.tar.gz.tar
Rename it to:
*.tar.gz
Ditto for *.tgz.tar. I've not ever seen *.tar.tar; it's likely you've
made
Change your file extension from *.tar.tar to *.tar.gz and try a gain.

I realize this is hardly a FOP problem, but
Rename the file to *.tar.gz as opposed to *.tar.tar and then winzip will
able to guide you on your way to extracting the actual archive.
