I finally found the reason:
google chrome 32bit on winxp64 downloads the archive wrong for some reason.
v6.0.472

It could be: 1. some user setting is wrong.   2. that version has a bug   3.
32bit chrome on win64 has problems   4. all chrome versions have a problem
with boost or sourceforge:-)

I've tried with IE32bit and it worked

Sorry about the hassle, I'll pursue with google,
