I recommend the first link: http://www.smolderforge.com/site/home/downloads

It's a pre-installed client so you don't have to install anything. You use a bittorrent program to download the program.

Has it fully finished downloading? What are you using to extract it?

No, not if you're not modifying, trying to boot from it.

The preinstalled client remains completely separate from your retail game. If you're sure it's at 100% then it really should be done. Maybe try a more light weight extractor like 7-zip? http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

Else, I'm not sure why you would get those errors. Oh wait... maybe try pausing the torrent too so it stops seeding, or rebooting your computer. If it says it's locked and used by another process, restarting would likely fix that.
