"The file is not a valid icon theme archive." - KDE Plasma 5 can't install one single icon theme

Figured it out.
- Download icon manually.
- Extract the file to a temporary folder.
- And move the folder (it should have an index.theme inside) to:
~/.local/share/iconsor/usr/share/icons - Enjoy.
There's a lot of misinformation on the Internet about the correct icon folder. And downloading icons using the System Settings is very unreliable.
