Download and extract a tarball on a fly, saving it

Very similar as doing "wget http://example.com/mytarball|tar xzv", this one involves the "tee" command between both, which will simultaneously write the tarball and copy it to stdout. So this command will locally save the tarball and extract it - both at the same time while it downloads.

Create a tar archive with all files of a certain type found in present dir and subdirs

Note: the tar archive must not exist in order to create it. If exists it will only be updated and no already existent files in present search will still remain in the tar archive. The update option has to be used instead of create because the command tar may be executed more than once depending on the number of arguments that find throws. You can see maximum number of arguments with 'getconf ARG_MAX'
