I've seen that happen sometimes if you use Firefox to download tar files. Firefox will add, an additional tar extension to the file. Its probably best to use a download manager such as kget or gwget where possible.

I've been using kget recently and like it a lot. What I'd really like though is the option in Firefox to download with regular wget.
