Disregard my first message.  it is probably wrong.  I evidently made an error when I was experimenting.
 
What I said is correct that browsers generally seem to add an s where needed.  But you probably have to work with the verification message before you can download.
 
Do the following.
When the message comes up, go to the bottom of the screen, control end.  You will be on an advanced button.
Activate it with the space bar.
Then once again go to the bottom of the screen.  You will be on a proceed to the name of the site button.  You will hear  that it is unsafe.  it is safe in this case. 
Activate it with the space bar.
You should now be taken to the direct download, the link you followed is a direct download link.  Download the file as you usually do.
 
As I said in my other message, you are evidently seeing the message because of a root verification certificate that expired recently.
 
GeneI just tried this with two browsers.  I’m not sure about one since I tried working with the verification message and then trying again with the browser.  But in the browser where I did notbhing, no download occurred.

The problem isn’t caused by there being no s at the end of http.  Browsers hgenerally seem to automatically add the s if it is needed these days.  The problem appears to be the root certificate that expired recently.  You are evidently getting a message that the site can’t be verified.  Ordinarily, you have to tell the browser to go to the site and the browser may tell you it is unsafe but will go there.  On some sites, it won’t. In this case, you don’t have to do anything.  This is a direct download link and in the browser you are using, try downloading the file as usual.  You may need to do nothing but the usual download procedure, even if you see the unverified warning.  If it doesn’t work, I’ll describe how to work with the unverified warning.  If you just do nothing after following a direct download link, do that.  If you open the download folder and use save as on that page, do that.

Too bad this is not an https link because my chromium based browsers won't allow downloads from it. Does anyone else have this issue
