unzipping downloaded files

[alex]

When you go in the zipped folder, there should be a link
on the left that says "Extract All Files"... then you
just pick where you want the unzipped files to be. If it
says corrupt, I don't think thats because it's zipped
though...

Zipped files are files compacted and archived into one file.
They all end with .ZIP. Not archives are .ZIP though, some can be
..LHA, .LZH, .ARC, .RAR, .LZX and so on. You need a third party program
such as Winace which can dearchive different archive formats.
