Newbie MySql Question

Hi, I am trying to install MySql but everytime I download the win2000 version from mysql.com i can't extract the files because it has an error... Is there anything i can do? Like get a a diff version or anything? Is there a special thingie i need to have for winzip/winrar? What the heck is the tarball thingie? I tried to get an older version but I couldnt see anything that was for win2k.
