Try a different browser ;-)

Seriously:

1) What browser did you use?

2) Did you (A) download just the exe or (B) bundled several files into one
download?

3) If (A): Have you tried to just rename the file to *.exe (Your browser
might have stored it with the wrong extension)

3) If (B): Have you ever heard of the tar archiver? You need one for bundled
downloads (Apart from the fact that the bowser should have used *.tar as
extension in this case).

And yes: the download works with a standart compliant browser and the needed
archiving tools (For windows users I suggest opera [1] and 7zip [2].)
