I guesses that question when I saw your tar file. Not that you not only need to un-tar but also to un-zip then several other files in that tarball. Counter-question: is it necessary that you do all that from within R? You could manually download, untar/unzip and then read the data that will be your next problem: the files have different names and some other information then just a table ... So unless you want to extract a lot of separate tables I think it is easier to do it manually.
