This doesn't seem to download as an .exe file, and comes with an AV warning (upgrade.exe is not commonly downloaded and could be dangerous)
It then says "Download failed"
I tried again with the same result.
W7, Chrome

This is what my announcement said: "Please note however that having a valid certificate is not sufficient for Internet Explorer to 'trust' the files, and you may still receive security warnings when you download them."
You should hardly be surprised to receive a warning that the file is "not commonly downloaded" when it was only released yesterday!

Repeating the download, however many times, will always give the same result because the file is being retrieved from your internet cache. Flush the cache then repeat the download and it will be fine.

Richard: The thing that concerned me was that the file, when downloaded, was not named the same as your link - it was a number IIRC and a strange filetype, not .exe.
(Edited later) I've just found the "odd" download: its file appendage is .crdownload and the filetype CRDOWNLOAD File in Explorer. New one on me! Anyway, I downloaded again and it came down as the correct file (without clearing the cache, BTW. Thanks.

Google is your friend: "Files which are being downloaded are stored with the contents of partial files while Chrome is downloading them. Files with the .CRDOWNLOAD extension are incomplete. The extension name is removed once the download has been completed, which indicates that the file is ready to be opened".

Thank you. (I'm always forgetting that one can Google for answers! Comes with age...)

Quick observation, just having run 6.02a. Yesterday with 6.00a I was having some issues with removing REMs (or rather rems) and the IDE not recognizing / retokenizing the line. That's gone today, all working, and it feels like you added a new feature, which is that you retokenize a de-remmed line even if the keyword case in the REM differs from the current setting. That's nice - is it new, or did I just never see it when you first introduced it?

There's been no change in that feature - ever. Keywords will only be recognised as such if they have the appropriate case (all caps by default, either all caps or all lowercase if the 'Lowercase Keywords' option is enabled).
So the behaviour you described (recognising either rem or REM as a keyword) is normal in Lowercase Keywords mode. Any change you think you've noticed is a figment of your imagination!
Richard.
