You can check the integrity of your download by running "md5sum packagename.zip" and comparing its output with the md5sum shown alongside the download link on the MySQL downloads page.

However, since you were able to open none of your several downloads, I doubt if download file corruption is the problem.

Instead, I would suspect your unzipper program; you might need to reinstall it. Have you been able to unzip other packages?
