having the files doesnt answer the question. Assuming you downloaded all those, on the same device, same browser. Could be that they're all bad.
use different browser, PC. download again, and try again.
The error is caused by the file your flashing. not CWM.

ok i think i resolved the problem. i had usb debugging on and it wasnt going into mtp initialization i was using usb mass storage.

i turned usb debugging off mtp-initialization activated and i transferred ultimatum2.0 rc1 and just installed it i tried cm7 but that didnt work so im back to ultimatum and im going to try to get cm7, and cm9, to work now

I transfer them to my internal SD then once I flash I copy to external in case I have an issue so I can go back and see what I was using thanks for the help though I'm pretty sure its because I used debugging instead of mtp my phone doesnt like debug mode
