The zip file is auto-generated by github so I can't control it unfortunately. Apparently this is a known issue with some repositories and there isn't a fix as far as I can tell.
I recommend that people learn how to use "git clone" from the command line. It is really easy (and the way git is supposed to be used). On linux / mac based systems (windows is slightly different - use google!) all you need to do is run the following from inside xbmc's addon directory in terminal (make sure you remove the old skin.arctic folder if its there).
Code:git clone https://github.com/jurialmunkey/skin.arctic
Then you can get updates by going into the skin.arctic directory and running the following.
Code:git pull
This saves you from having to download the whole skin over and over again as it only downloads changes made
Regarding Fonts
I am well aware the new fonts are not perfect - linespacing, baseline and weighting needs to be tweaked slightly to match and not be cut off in textboxes. When I have some time I will try and get it a bit better, but I am very very busy with uni at the moment. The old fonts from alaska have licensing issues that I wasn't originally aware of - as a result you will not see me redistributing or providing links for these. If you look over the last couple of pages you should be able to use some lateral thinking to get them.
You can get the OLD FONTS.XML to go with the old font files from here (put it in the 1080i folder of the skin).

When running this command i get an error:
OpenELEC2:~/.xbmc/addons # git clone https://github.com/jurialmunkey/skin.arctic
-sh: git: not found
OpenELEC2:~/.xbmc/addons #
I have removed the folder: skin.artic (or what the name was)
