7zip can not open file as archive (SOLVED)
Everytime I download Steam OS it ends at around 10MB and I get an error message saying "7zip can't open file 'C:\Users\Name\Appdata\Local\Temp\SteamOSInstaller.zip' as archive"

If you need to know what my specs are:
4gb ram
Core 2 Duo U7300 @ 1.73ghz
Nvidia GT 335m
500gb HDD
Currently running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit"

=======UPDATE==========
I have succesfully downloaded the SteamOS file and extracted it.

I went to the link provided by cheetahshrk using bit torrent and I was able to get it off the reddit page. Thank you to all of those who answered.

Click unofficial torrent, you must have a torrent client installed.

Redownload using either Google Chrome or IE.

Yes, EVERYONE hates using IE but if you don't want to use Chrome it's the only stable downloader without any weird download managers.

Can I just get a random torrent or does it have to be trusted. Sorry, I haven't done this before.

And the site that posted that was from a legit steam blog.

Use the link in the blog, or do you mean bittorrent Software?
