>>This file is downloaded using torrent software. The strange thing (and maybe it is because I don't understand how torrent program works) is that I can "open" the file within the torrent software and see all the files. But when I try to copy them somewhere I get this message that the file is too big. So it looks like the file is not corrupted.

The extension of the file is ZIP and this is why assumed it is a zip file. Thank you for your input.
