That is a 3 GB download file. Your download must have been interrupted and corrupted. Try downloading it again.

Why can't my MacBook Pro unarchive .zip files? Hello Everyone! For some reason, I am unable to unarchive any files downloaded. I just recently updated MacOS to Sonoma 14.3.1, I am not sure if that is the issue but please advise me on any way to get the unarchive function to work again! I have tried using Archive Utility, The Unarchiver, and I have tried using Terminal but they have not worked since recently, they used to all work before. My MacBook used to be able to unarchive files by simply just clicking on the .zip folder and it will create a new unarchived folder with all the files.
