Downloads are failing

I dont know where Im supposed to post this, but I need help. Ive downloaded the Dimensions sew cozy pattern multiple times, and its corrupted, every time. The .rar file contains no files. But, when I posted a bounty requesting a working upload of the pattern, the admin closed my post, stating that the existing download is not corrupted.

Im unable to message the admin, directly.

So, is the .rar corrupted? And how do I fix it?

Winrar, Winzip and 7zip are the most common free programs that open these kinds of files.  I cant answer how you would uzip them on a phone as I use a Windows 10 pc to do all of my collecting and opening.

Ive been using the preloaded samsung extractor. It has been extracting all the other compressed files (minus this and one other pattern), with no problems.

I have a preloaded Samsung extractor on my phone. Its extracted every other file with no problem (minus this and one other pattern). Its only these 4, specific files that wont open.

Ill try to download and open them on my PC tomorrow. Maybe its an android problem.

I FINALLY got this to work. I had to install an extraction app, then go in and manually unzip each file.

Thank you for the help, everyone!!!
