If you can't download this correctly then something is either wrong with your computer or your connection. By Download Manager I mean a seperate program that uses multiple connections to download the file in chunks. Sometimes those programs have issues with downloading files correctly.

Install the ZMBV codec included with DOSBox, there should be an entry in the Start Menu under "DOSBox". and your also using the wrong players. Never use WMP, Quicktime or Divx Player. You want Media Player Classic HC, VLC or anything else besides the three you posted.
