sometimes people upload releases with double compression. you have to extract a 2nd set of rar or zip files to get to the real rom or iso or movie or whatever. If that was not the case, you may have had a dropped connection and one of the files of the set didn t download so check and redownload it. sometimes its not your connection and one of the files is just down where it was uploaded. that s when you wanna check if the page you downloaded the files from included a mirror or an alternative set of the files uploaded to a different file sharing service site. if so you can check the mirrors for the missing file you need.
I was at my friend's house when I downloaded the file. My assumption is that the internet dropped as you suggested.

hopefully its not interpreted the wrong way, but:

OP wasnt having a problem with not understanding multiple files zipped (which was what was assumed)

OP didnt realize his downloads were corrupt/missing files...

kinda reminds me of someone trying to "assemble" a bowl of cereal (requires 3 parts: bowl,milk,cereal), but is missing milk and doesn't realize it. :D

glad OP got it working now.
Exactly I went to the store to buy ingredients for cereal. I then come back and swear I bought the milk but didn't I then come here to ask my wife (You all metaphorically) to help me look for the milk and then I check the receipt and I forgot to buy it. I know how to make cereal, but it is pretty hard to make (proper) cereal without milk.

That being said the problem is solved this thread can certainly be closed now.

Here's a screenshot of what I get after extracting the original zip.
Sorry to bump this thread again but I just wanted to mention that based on the screenshot it would be obvious that most parts are missing. I noticed that happening to me as well a little while ago when trying the Google Drive mirrors it wouldn't download ALL of the parts together. Using JDownloader 2 will download all the parts after pasting the GD link. I prefer torrents now though because the speeds for me on Google Drive were slow.
