| The Finder - at least in newer versions - can unzip directly. However: If StuffIt refuses to unzip, this usually means an archive _is_ corrupted.

| Try opening a terminal, changing to the directory that the zip is in, and then typing "unzip <filename>". If that doesn't work, the file is definitely corrupt.

| No, no quotes. Like this: unzip filename.zip Where "filename" is the file's name. Yes, you need to type the ".zip" extension.
