Good to see that all links are replaced with https, there are some
workarounds with curl for redirecting but again not with default option.
If someone by mistake uses http along with curl then it may be a problem so
will it be possible to put a help somewhere on the download page or it can
also be a modal popup for the people having trouble in downloading just
like the information present in the mediawiki page on which Shirish is
working.

Also I think by mistake somehow "*uu*" string is coming at the top of the
banner on hindi version of the download page, please refer screenshot.
