Network access may be blocked if you followed the /doc/vpn instructions,
because then only openvpn would be allowed. If you're going to use
Qubes-vpn-support, then disregard the /doc/vpn instructions ...and
create a fresh VM.

A fresh VM should be able to download files directly.

On a github project page, the download area supplies two types of links:

One is for a .zip file that can be downloaded with wget or curl or a
browser.

The other ends in .git and is for use with the command "git clone <link
address>".

Either of these will work.
