For some reason IE saves a *.tar.gz file as *.tar.tar. Just re-rename it to
*.tar.gz and Winzip will do the right stuf.

My WinZip (V 7.0 SR1) *does* handle tar.gz files properly.
Use "Open Archive", File Type "All archives", select your archive file,
"Open".

WinZip should ask you whether you want to decompress that single file
contained in the archive and open it. Enough temporary disk space 
assumed, this should work well. You can extract any files you wish
afterwards from within the GUI.

Rename xyz.tar to xyz.tgz locally.
