Sometimes, the browser will un-gzip files when they are downloaded. So it's possible that the file you now have is actually a .tar, not a .tar.gz. As Tom suggested, see if you can unpack it locally (you may have to rename it to end in .tar).

Are you on Windows? If so, it could be this bug.

As Tom said above, you could install the plugin the old-fashioned way (uploading the unpacked files into their correct location). Or, if you are affected by the above bug, try creating a .zip file and use that.
