I downloaded the AR User software version 2.011 from
http://www.bcdxc.org/ve7cc/default.htm but I can't get it to unzip.
Using either WinZip or PowerArchiver, I get a message saying the file is
not a zip archive. I've downloaded it three times to be sure the file
didn't get corrupted. No luck.

Are you using ZoneAlarm? There have been reports of ZA causing file
corruption in other contexts, so maybe it's the culprit here too.

Just a guess ...

No, I'm using the native WinXP firewall. Maybe I'll turn it off long
enough to download. Risky, huh?

I'm using the native WinXP firewall too, but I had no problem at all
downloading and unzipping the file. The problem must me elsewhere.

It's really strange. I've downloaded that file a dozen times today with
different browsers, different file download managers (and no download
manager) and I don't know what all.

Just a suggestion he

The installer for the base program itself comes as a ZIP file sure
enough, but the update is just the EXE file. Perhaps the original
poster was accidentally downloading the most recent version (update)
instead of the originall installer app?
