Sounds more like the archiver program your using.

What do you use to open the downloads with ? Winrar/winzip ?

This is a known problem, some files were currupted on the previous server change.

If you (as you have) find One of these files please just name it and we will correct the Zip file....therefore a thanks for your help too.

Several has been amended to date, but due to the vast database there's a few we have missed.
