Is it possible to download an artifact from the current build as a tar.gz instead of zip?

Imagine I have 5 tasks, the first one builds a cross-platform project using a linux container and use the artifact capabilities in CirrusCI to save the build so that the subsequent tasks can download. The following tasks (using linux, macos, freebsd and windows) download the artifact, install it and run the tests.

The docs say that it is possible to download the artifact from https://api.cirrus-ci.com/v1/artifact/build/<CIRRUS_BUILD_ID>//<ARTIFACTS_NAME>.zip. The trouble is that unzip is not usually available in all platforms, while tar is.

It would be simpler if I can download/unpack the archive using curl and tar, because they are already available in the platform
