Sigil can't open on Mac (txz keeps converting to cpgz and back)

Hi there,
I downloaded Sigil for Mac (my Mac OS is High Sierra Ver 10.13.6). It comes as a txz file, but when I try to open it, it duplicates itself as a cpgz file. When I click on the cpgz file, it converts back to a txz file. Trying to unzip it via the Terminal (using either txz or cpgz file) brings up this error:

Code:
Archive:  /Users/guestacc/Downloads/Sigil.app-1.9.30-Mac.txz
  End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not
  a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the
  latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
  the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip:  cannot find zipfile directory in one of /Users/guestacc/Downloads/Sigil.app-1.9.30-Mac.txz or
        /Users/guestacc/Downloads/Sigil.app-1.9.30-Mac.txz.zip, and cannot find /Users/guestacc/Downloads/Sigil.app-1.9.30-Mac.txz.ZIP, period.
Users-MacBook-Air:~ guestacc$ codesign -dvvv Sigil.app

How should I install Sigil? I've already tried redownloading it from the main Sigil site 5 times to no avail.
