"end of central directory not found" usually means that it's part of a multi part archive, or the version of unzip is really old. Like about 7 years old. What exactly are you trying to download?

Autostart will just do what it says on the tin - anything placed in autostart will be run at startup, but it probably won't do anything that requires sudo access. It will start applications and scripts but won't itself allow any user interaction.

Well it seems that something is badly broken with the unzip program. Not finding the "central directory" is an indication of a problem with unzip.

You could try re-installing unzip:

sudo apt-get --reinstall install unzip
