I guess nothing (except I did it wrong as well).

The problem seems to be, that the server sends these jar-files with
content-type text/plain, which could cause Firefox (what do you use?) to
not treat it as binary files.

Downloading with InternetExplorer could work (its autodetection of
content-type identified the file as being .zip), but I never tested it.

Used wget to download and it works.

It is not an issue with jedit but the server configuration. I guess.
