unarcing .tar.tar files

[Thomas]

There is no such thing like a .tar.tar file. This is a flaw of your web browser (probably MS IExplorer). Check the status line before you click on the link to see what the real file name is, then save it with the correct name. It's probably .tar.gz or .tar.bz2.

WinRAR gets confused about .tar.tar files, either. You have to rename them to their real names before it can process them.
