Expected behavior
The pyhon.org webserver(s) should return HTML

Start by reproducing the problem with the provided curl and wget commands against https://www.python.org/downloads/. Inspect the response and the downloads-page serving path to determine why the saved content is binary; done means both commands return readable HTML for the downloads page.
