I've been trying to download and install these two mods but i keep getting the same unexpected end of archive error. anyone know how i can get around this? I've tried installing both about 15 times and still no success.

If memory serves, an 'end of archive' error has to do with data corruption in the .rar, or missing data within the .rar. Are you downloading them from Armaholic?

I concur with CPL Nelson, sounds like an incomplete or corrupt archive.    Have you tried re-downloading?

... you can always first run Command->Test Archive from winRAR (if that's what you are using) to check your archive(s) first.   If you get the same error (which I suspect you will) you will have to re-download.  Admittedly, it is odd you would have the problem with both files, that is, unless you were downloading them both at the same time.
