That page never shows up although NoScript has the permissions set, it 
is related to that, because as another user who does not have the 
NoScript plugin the page *did* show up.

Copying the link to "here" one can do:

wget http://dl.google.com/earth/client/current/GoogleEarthLinux.bin

and use the -c option to interrupt the download and get the partial content.
