Unable to extract the installation files from CS6 Design & Web Premium

I've gone through the steps that have been suggested in other threads. This is on a FRESHLY installed Windows 7 64-bit.

When I attempt to use the Adobe Downloader, I get Error 101. When I got the files from Direct Download, I was still unable to extract them through the Adobe installation software. When I attempted to extract the files using WinRAR, I got an error message stating that they are corrupt files. I've attempted to extract the files and download the files on all three of my harddrives (SSD, HDD & portable HDD) and keep getting the same messages.

I'm on an administrator account. I am not attempting to extract them to My Programs or any other folder where I would not have write permissions, and I undoubtedly have enough space for the install. Any ideas where I might be going wrong?

Well, in case someone happens to have a similar problem... I downloaded it to my laptop instead & then copied the files onto my external HDD. The installation worked without a hitch. It seems for whatever reason the .7z file would not download properly on my PC regardless of what method or browser I used, or which drive I DLed it to... Obviously a cause for concern on my end, but for the time being, at least it's finally working.

On a related note, would it be possible to use the key from my Design & Web Suite on individual products or does it specifically have to be on the suite?

Edit: I tried copying the files over my external harddrive and attempting the install on another computer. It had the same issues. I will be attempting to download the files on the other computer and installing them here now & will update you on what happens.

Try anotehr browser and use the alternate download method without the download manager or as explained here: Direct Downloads

Hey, thanks for the reply. I tried using Firefox & Internet Explorer but am now getting a message saying:

I'm guessing it might be because I already attempted the direct download 4 times yesterday. It is also displaying the same message in Chrome (the browser I was attemping the downloads on yesterday).
