Yes, the page above is fine...

And this file is either a) not really under the PDD directory, b) is
only readable by the webserver which is running the little 'download.do'
script that allows download by clicking on the link from the above page,
or, c) there is some authentication issue.

...and you get Error 404--Not Found.

meaning... it is either, a) not there at all, b) the permissions are
wrong, or c) I am not allowed to grab the file directly.

This has nothing to do with curl. Look at your filesystem permissions
and your web server setup - do I need some kind of cookie, etc.
