Hello,
after playing hundreds of hours in AA 3, I decided to give 25 assist a try, since AA3 was so buggy. So I downloaded assist and immediately began downloading 25. All went well until I hit step 8, the sounds. It will download everything, but when it tries to decompress, I get a big, angry "Installation Failed at Step 8, PLease check your internet connection then click DOWNLOAD to resume the Download" (yes, the please had the p and the l capitalized). I am certain that I have internet connection, so that is not the problem. I have tried it at least 10 times. Anyone have any idea what's the problem here?

-UPDATE-
I tried deleting the 25assist folder from appdata to start over, but now it won't even get past step 1's extraction.

I tested to download again, and got the same problem as you, was going extremly slow, then I got the same error message as you.

I did this to solve the problem:
Hit the Download button for Americas Army System inside Assist, it asked me if I would resume, and I did.
Download finished at full speed.

I'm not sure if this is the problme, but:
Assist automatically downloads AA to this location: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\25Assist\ (on Win7) and it gives an error that might have been similar to that of yours (don't remember for sure) if there's not enough disc space on the C: drive.

If this is the case, then

QUESTION: Can I change the location where assist stores the game and data files?

ANSWER: Yes, If you want assist to store its data somewhere else create a folder called '25Assist' in the same place as your 25Assist.exe (and 25Assist Libs) and it will see and use that folder instead of its usual one. You can also MOVE your exising 25Assist from the location mentioned above the the new location.

So just move the 25assist.exe to some other drive that has sufficient space and follow the instructions.

Again, not sure if this is the exact problem you're facing, but I had this kind of a problem at first.

I tried installing to Program Files (x86) AND Program Files, but it still doesn't work. I tried extracting the sound.7z manually with 7zip, but it displays "Cannot open C:\Program Files\25Assist\sounds.7z as an archive"
Could it be that the file is corrupted?
