As I wrote manual download worked. So, osgeo sever is fine and general
download works as well that's why my guess was some strange
security/antivirus settings but I don't know how to prove or disprove this.
(My first guess was problem with server because of 404 but it was easy to
disprove.)

The guide is there but I don't want to see the user struggling with
unpacking tar.bz2 on MS Window. zip or 7z would be helpful. It might be
convenient to have both. The package is >12 MB, so size is the issue?
