There is a chance that you have downloaded corrupted file. That means torrent website may have corrupted file itself. Just try to download t same file from another torrent website. It may work.

Here are some of the ways to fix this issue:

1. Use VPN
2. Use magnetic Link
3. Download from other sources (eg. IDM)

I would suggest you to read more about the other methods before deciding which one would be best for you. Refer to this answer from Microsoft.
