Most likely culprit is a truncated download. The first archive should be 50 000 000 bytes long. The second should be 48 460 147 bytes long.
There seem to be issues with downloading the second archive; several attempts from me ended up frozen or truncated.

caveat: although I think I did it the first time, I believe I did not include a system information file this time. Should that be included?
No and no. That's mostly irrelevant to the issue at hand.

EDIT 2: tested the rar-open with all files present in a folder except for cluebook and manual. Used both 7-zip and Peazip; encountered the same error.
Only extract the RAR and ZIP files. NFO and SFV are not archives.

There are several possible explanations here - bad RAM (altough you'd probably experience random crashing in that case), failing hard drive (again, there are symptoms you'd notice) and faulty download. Try redownloading the files, perhaps using a different download tool (or browser, if you downloaded them through one).
