Hi, I've had a mac for about 3 years now. I'm a gamer, but when it comes to download FPS games such as Nexuiz, AlienArena and others. With those games its usually a 400-800 Mega byte download. Then about halfway through, for absolutely no reason my mac just stops downloading it and when i try to resume it, i double click it and it says Unarchiving. But then i get an error message. I really, really want to play these games but I don't know how to fix it.

My System info: Mac OS X V. 10.5.8 with a 2.66 GHz Intel core 2 duo, 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory, and Macintosh HD.

If you know how to fix this, please reply or email.
 
I download through HTTP and when downloading the file shows up as a zip. I use Safari

What about using the RESUME button (red circle) in the Safari Download window?

That doesn't show, it marks the download as complete even though it'll only be halfway through. THen i double click it, and error.
