Okay, Bad luck must be on my side...

Clean Installer:
This tool is an alternative to those who had experience using Q-Xpress in the past when downloading the files from MTS2. Unfortunately, Q-Xpress was discontinued after it was reported to have issues downloading and installing the files properly.
Clean Installer offers users flexibility to install files where they want them to be installed, install the basic files without any extra junk and so on.
The information about the program is provided at the site hosting Clean Installer.

For downloading files, just download them as you would anything else. Either by left-clicking on the file and Saving it or by right-clicking and using Save Target (or similar language in the right-click menu, the precise wording being dependent on your own browser and settings).
For unpacking files (that is, extracting contents of zip or rar files), my own recommendation is 7-zip:
http://www.7-zip.org
For opening and installing Sims2pack files, use Clean Installer:
http://sims2pack.modthesims2.com/
which is also very useful for managing your installed files and for keeping that Downloads folder trim.

Anyway, there are various zipping programs out there that you can look at and decide for yourself which one suits your needs.
Let us know if you were able to get the files installed successfully.

Yes, I did. I'm not claiming credit for it, just giving a second boost to the recommendation.
As to decompression programs, naturally it is a matter of personal preference. My own happens to be slanted to 'Why have two programs taking up space on your machine when one small one can accomplish both tasks.'
As always, to each his/her own.

If a link was already provided along with the information, leave it be. Anyway, moving on.
