Just type ftp://ftp.ci.tuwien.ac.at/pub/octave/ into your favourite web browser (Netscape and MS-IExplorer are probably the most popular ones) and you'll be there. Then, click on top of the file "octave-ci.tar.gz" and it should immediately begin to download into your computer. You will need 'gunzip' and 'tar' to decompress and extract it, though I seem to recall modern versions of zip programs do handle it. In case of need, let me know and I will transform it into a zip file and send it to you by email (it's rather small). Alternatively, you can open an anonymous ftp session with user "anonymous" or "ftp" and your email address as password. Then "cd" into "pub/octave" and download the file with "get". Make sure you set the transfer mode to binary.
