A file ending with .tar.gz is an archive file, usually referred to as a tarball. It is a very common archive format under Unix/Linux and popular (pobably the most used) archive format in the open source world. The format can easily be unpacked on Windows with help of WinZip or 7-zip, on Mac with StuffIt Expander and on Linux with tar zxvf drupal-6.6.tar.gz.

I hope my answer help you. If you need further assistance, please post a topic in the Installing Drupal forum. This is the issue queue for the module called Download. :-)
