RE: Having problems with skins
When you'd downloaded the file, were you able to open it using WinZip, or WinRar?  You should be able to drag the downloaded PLSK into any unzipping utility and see the files inside.

If not then the download didn't complete properly and would explain the message you received.  If this is the case then clear your Browser cache and try the download again

Download the file to your hard drive ("Save", not "Run") then open WinZip, WinRAR, 7Zip (whichever archiving software you have) then drag and drop the downloaded file onto it.

Does it display all of the files inside it?

Don't try to open it, use an archiving program such as the ones I've suggested to view the contents of it.  Are you able to see all of the files contained within the skin?

Also, please don't send PMs, keep the discussion to the thread as it will help other people give their input incase I'm not able to solve your problem
