I have noticed; is a bug or feature:

when clicked .tar or .tar.gz files, kfm tries to download the entire file
from the net (note: with no progress dialog) before then displaying the
contents of the file. Of course, we are not yet allowed to copy to and
from tarred archived, so what's a guy to do?

I suggest the default behavior be some different please..
