I have done in the past , using NetSurf but it looks they've changed
things recently with the addition of the javascript code. Annoyingly,
it only seems to be there to give instructions on how to download the
file.
I thought for a moment I'd found a work around. Looking through the
source of the webpage I can see a link that when launched, shows a
download link to the file, but sadly, when clicked leads to an 'Empty
document' error.
So unfortunately it no longer works on RISC OS.
