Well, tar files are similar to zip and rar files, but they don't actually compress anything. Therefore, if you take 10 2MB files, and make a tar file with them, you'll have a 20MB tar file (plus a little overhead for saying where one file ends and the next begins).
Unless the tar file isn't completely downloaded, you should just be able to extract it and see everything.
