That download link is broken and removing the spaces to make it work results in a downloaded file that is really an HTML document. No wonder 7-Zip won't open it.
Are you sure 9.20 does open that? maybe you are doing something wrong.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
That's not quite true. It's NOT a valid HTML document, it's rather an error message concatenated with 7z file. It means that the website is misconfigured or the website code contains errors.
Well, I didn't check more than opening it with a hexadecimal editor and saw typical HTML tags and just left it at that. Later I noticed the size of the file and checked a second time, noticing the 7z header after the html part. I didn't care to see if the HTML part was of any use.

OK, I looked at it a second time with a hex editor and it turns out that, after the HTML code, there's indeeed a 7-Zip archive and it does open with 18.05.
I don't know if 9.20 opens it despite the prepended HTML, but the truth of the matter is that the file is wrong as it provided by the server.

I want to decompress the following archive.
Sample data: http: //wotangar.ru/file/download/Icons_aboroda_v.1.0 (0.8.7). 7z
I could not decompress this archive using 7-zip 18.05 x64.
However, I can decompress this archive using 7-zip 9.20 x64.
Is this a degrade?
Also, is there a way to expand this archive using 7-zip 18.05 x 64?
Thank you in advance

7-zip in new versions won't open such files by default, you need to use option ”Open inside #” to open any file containing data before archive. It's been already explained 2 days ago, see the following message:
