Hey,
Dont click the Download Archive button.
Right after the name of the file you have two options Save to Yandex.Disk and a download Arrow, hit that arrow it will work.
Good luck

4. Retried multiple time with other older ROW files to check if download file is corrupted.

Smarty_009 - So, anyone, on MM latest version and not having root, will be able to successfully root and get TWRP recovery by following these steps, right?

I was on rooted s152 then I did factory reset and then followed all the steps. It worked out.

According to my understanding. 1.92 GB size is due to 2.6GB marshmallow ROM. this we flash in step one by flashing rawprogram0 then we flash unlock and twrp just for replacing then stock ROM files with other custom files.
This is why it works for p1c72 and should work technically for all.
