If you want to script the download later, copy the URL from the browser’s Download dialog or right‑click → Copy Link Address. It looks something like:

https://download3.vmware.com/software/vmw-tools/VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.5.0.update01-17161872.x86_64.tgz

(Exact path will differ; the key is that it’s a *.tgz file under download3.vmware.com.)
