Many support sites offer other options than downloading.
(E.g. what about machines which aren't connected at all?)
Have you looked for alternatives or contacted the support help
and asked them for help?
Find out if you can download the file independently of that program.
If so, you could ask your friend again to do the download for you.
Etc.
You aren't giving us enough details to really help you much.
Remember, your words have to substitute for what you know
or our eyes would notice.
Good luck
Robert
