Downloading the current version of the jQuery JavaScript library

I'm on Trailhead, Visualforce Basics, unit 8 "Create and Upload a Simple Static Resource"
First instruction is to download the current version of the jQuery JavaScript library - I'd like some help to achieve that.

When I click on the link to jquery2.1.1, http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.1.js, it takes me to a long webpage of code.
When I click http://jquery.com/download/ it gives me a few options:
  • Download the compressed, production jQuery 2.1.4 - clicking on this opens a file, and when I open it I get an error message - script: C:\Users\Penny\Downloads\jquery-s.1.4.min.js, line: 2, char: 7303, error: 'n' is null or not an object, code: 800A138F, source: Microsoft JScript runtime error
  • Download the uncompressed, development jQuery 2.1.4 - clicking on this opens a file, and when I open it I get an error message - script: C:\Users\Penny\Downloads\jquery-2.1.4.min.js, line: 892, char: 2, error: 'document' is null or not an object, code: 800A138F, source: Microsoft JScript runtime error
  • Right-clicking either of these links in Chrome only allows me to open or save the link
Any clues on how to download the resource so I can continue the trail? Simple basic steps for a beginner, please!

If you goto the first url that has the long web page of code.  Then right click on the page and say "save as."  This will let you download the jquery library to your disk.  Then you can create your static resource.

Thanks pcon, that worked and I finished the unit!

And it turns out that if I'd followed the Trailhead instruction to "Right-click on the direct link to download the file, rather than opening it in a browser window.", that would have worked - right click and select "Save" to save the webpage (that's what threw me off - I thought it would be a file rather than a webpage)
