Rich the link above, despite the .ZIP extension points to a web page. on
that web page are download links.

the actual link appears to be

http://ph-public-data.com/file/download/Pre-RD_PDI_Appx-A-Chemistry-Data-DVR.zip

but I get an 500 internal server error here using wget.  I was able to
download just fine via Firefox.

you can try wget --content-on-error when web admins are foolish.

$ wget --content-on-error
