If you're trying to get it working with the latest code, then yes,
ignore this step and install based on either the latest master from
git, the latest 3.6.4 release, or that tarball you linked to (although
that's 'current' as of about 3 months ago; it's a long story but a new
one should be up soon).

My recommendation would be to go with the latest release so you know
that your patches are tied to a specific stable version of GNU Radio.
You can find all of the releases here:

That sounds like a problem on the hosting side. Can you manually
download the same files without them being corrupted? wget shouldn't
be getting in the way of anything.
