Details

Description:
on archlinux.org, pick-up the package of your wish by making a package search and go to the package page
Click the 'Donwload from mirror' link.
You'll end up with a tar.xz.tar file instead of tar.xz.

For example: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/i686/freerdp/download/

May be some configuration mistake on the server ?

Problem spotted with chromium and firefox; it works with wget
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Upstream
Additional comments about closing:  Chrome bug, won't fix here, silly to even track here. Our maintainers shouldn't waste too much time on this...

Works for me just fine in Firefox:

$ ls /tmp/freerdp-0.8.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz
/tmp/freerdp-0.8.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz

So either your browser is configured wrong (highly likely if it is working for wget) or this is something 100% out of our control since all we do is redirect to a package hosted on the kernel.org mirrors.

I can reproduce this problem in Chromium but not Firefox. Heres a related bug for Chromium:
