Try Safari?  Is there a problem using that browser?  It’s *strongly recommended* according to the website :-}

FWIW, I just tried this (with Safari) on macOS 10.11.6.  It’s happily downloading (up to 1GB already).  Can you tell whether the download sees an error?  Is there anything of interest in the system logs?  There should be some indication if you only get 0 bytes...
