It sounds like the download is failing partway through. Is the file size 96 MB (or 109 MB for the zip)?

Another poster had trouble downloading with IE, maybe try a different browser?

Well going threw the game files i found it was a .CST file that was the probelm, so i got it working, but the .EXE file wasnt reading and wasnt loading into it. thus it wouldnt even load at all. kinda weird, but it happens.

There aren't any cst files in any of Factorio release types, so really I don't know what you downloaded :-)
