Error Importing Fritzing Parts (SEEED STUDIOS)

When trying to import parts from SEEED Studios, I get an error…
Unable to open shareable part 'C:\Users\{user}\Documents\Fritzing\parts\user\{name}.fzpz zip.open(): -1000
I do not understand the zip.open(): -1000 part. Does that mean there is a problem with the file itself? All the SEEED Studio parts I downloaded throw this error.
Fritzing_mrrmh8Z5Vs
EXAMPLE: One of the SEEED parts I tried.
XIAO ESP32S3(Sense).fzpz (319.1 KB)

7zip also won’t open the file says it isn’t an archive. Where did get the files from? A google search of the form “fritzing part ziao esp32 sense” finds a part here which may do you.

I got them from Seeed Studios GitHub https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/fritzing_parts/tree/master/XIAO%20Boards
I also just tried a random part I downloaded from Adafruit’s Fritzing part library and received the same error.
I am downloading the files by right-clicking the reference, using save link as, then saving it.
I did not know they were archives of files, and I am also having problems opening them with 7zip. So it must be something with Chrome or how I am downloading the files, or both. I’ll work the issue based on that and see what I can come up with. Thanks for the fast reply!!

Yep! It was me. The part archive file was corrupted on my end after the download. I believe that is the first time that has happened to me though. I clicked on the reference, then clicked on ‘view raw’ and it opened the download file dialog with the file name. But this time the archive opened with 7zip. YAY! Thank you so much for the assist vanepp!
