well, A is flat out wrong. i was able to just download and successfully extract the zip from here: https://github.com/jurialmunkey/skin.arc...master.zip
and even if the zip is corrupted for some people one could actually use git the way it was intended and clone it.
i guess one place where we disagree is how complete the skin is. aside from a few bug here and there i would hardly call this incomplete. every xbmc core function and then some is included.
where i have issue is the use of the word abandoned as it is incorrect. if jurial had no intention of ever updating the skin again, then you'd be correct. there are plenty of skins that have been abandoned, just look at anything by hitcher. development of arctic might be on hiatus but it's not abandoned. i think it would be unfair for someone just learning of the skin to come here, go to the last page and see someone say the work has been abandoned when that is not the case.
