Perhaps you could list what you're doing and at which point you're having the problem.

When you get the download properly, it IS a zip file so the drill is to save it onto your PC first, then unzip it (if you have Windows XP or later you don't need Winzip, just right click on it and select "extract all").
Then you need to copy the .ov2 files and the .bmp files into your named map folder on the TomTom.

If you are getting a corrupted file...
First, have you tried the "show link" button next to the "download" button? (it says "use 'show link' if you have problems opening the file once downloaded or it appears to be empty" beside it). This sorts out most issues.

Next...
Have you tried re-downloading?
Can you try a different PC or web browser?
