You are correct about the twice-compressed file.
You need to do the following (from a terminal):

Of course, here are a few more things available for you newbie people:
You keep talking about a twice compressed file. It isn't twice compressed
tar is just a way to archive files without any compression. After you make a

to extract the files you first have to uncompress it and then untar it.
