Rename it curl-ca-bundle.crt and save it in the directory with curl.exe.Alternatively, I recently developed an msi installer that sets up a full featured build of curl with just a few clicks.

These proved unambiguous, I passed the 'not a robot test' and was able to download the installer. Ran the installer as Admin on my machine. The install required installing MS Visual C for 2015 Redistributable. Had to launch that 2x, but I'd bet is was a MS hickup on their end on the download.–Sep 22 '16 at 18:15. Oh yeah, on the captcha thing, I hit the download button before I noticed the check box for 'I am not a robot'.
