I'm missing something obvious... when I download a tarball from Github and 
attempt to stream it to node-tar, the Extract method tells me I have an 
invalid tar file.  Any ideas?

var tar     = require( 'tar' )
  , request = require( 'request' )
  , UA      = 'test/1.0'
  , options = { headers: { "User-Agent": UA } }
  , uri     = 'https://api.github.com/repos/isaacs/node-tar/tarball/master'
  , fs      = require('fs')


// this works

  request( uri, options )
    .pipe( fs.createWriteStream( 'out.tar' ) )
    .on( "end", function() {
      console.log( 'done' )
    })
    .on( "error", function( e ) {
      console.log( e )
    })


/*

  // this doesn't work ('Error: invalid tar file')

  request( uri, options )
    .pipe( tar.Extract( { path: __dirname + '/extract' } ) )
    .on( "end", function() {
      console.log( 'done' )
    })
    .on( "error", function( e ) {
      console.log( e )
    })

*/
