Hi,
I tried twice today to download the autorouter, but the 7z archive is corrupted. I got errors when extracting it both times. The version was 0.4 and the download link was: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BwqCaNlgtS3UZkM3UFZqVkRqNHM
I don't recognize that URL as being the official EasyEDA location for the local Autorouter software.
The link was as given in the Tutorial on Updated Instructions for v4.9.3 but it has been temporarily removed until after the next major upgrade.
The cloud Autorouter is still available.
This link was in EasyEDA where you start the autorouter, and it shows options to use a local one, with a link "How do I do this?". That link takes you to a page where you can download the autorouter.
OK, got where the link is from. I hadn't noticed the underlying address before.
I have followed the link and had no problem extracting the files (using Engrampa in LinuxMint).
Google Drive has a problem showing a preview of the file contents:

but that doesn't stop you being able to download and extract it.
What 7z program are you using?
If you haven't already found it, for Windows, I can recommend:
http://www.7-zip.org/
Sorry but I don't know of an equivalent for Mac.

7zr in Ubuntu 16.04 It says that 16 files failed to extract. Running it gives an EOF error. file-roller gives an error as well. p7zip also gives the same error as 7zr.
As I said, I have managed to download and extract it with no trouble using Engrampa.
I'm running LinuxMint 18.3 so it's based on the same 16.04 LTS version of Ubuntu.
Maybe Engrampa has been pulled in by LinuxMint team because of problems with the default Ubuntu unzippers but it may be available in the Ubuntu repos (or maybe a PPA?):
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man1/engrampa.1.html
If you still can't get it to download and extract I can upload a copy of the files I downloaded from the original link when the linux version of the local autorouter first became available.
Thanks!
For now, for the simple design I am doing, the cloud autorouter seems to be enough. It takes a few seconds when it is able to run. I quite often get errors that too many jobs are running, though. That's why I had the thought to download it. I just need to keep retrying, and it eventually works.
I think the Linux version is the same as the Windows one, with only differences in the startup script, which pass parameters to the java runtime. The autorouter is done with java.
