My son and I had the same problem this morning. I notice this is not the first time that someone has had this problem AND have it go unanswered for months.
I also had some problems logging into the technic site at that time. I'm just going to try again later and see if the problem goes away.
I use win7 to unzip my files not winRAR. Also I went into the .technic folder and opened one of the mods that wasn't unzipping and found I couldn't unzip it manually because - it was empty. Only 1K in size. So at this point I think the problem is not the "unzipping" but the downloading. My hope is that some part of the server has hung and someone will reboot it and voila. Do you still have the same trouble?
