James, 404 is page not found.
In fact if you go to the first link and click on Download under 1.1 
paragraph, you'll get to the second link, which is not found.

BTW, if you google "lilypond install", that is the second page listed 
after downloads page.

The file Documentation/topdocs/INSTALL.texi includes 
Documentation/included/compile.itexi, where you can see:

   Pre-compiled binaries are available on the @rweb{Download} page.

so the @rweb{Download} is expanding to web#download relative to current 
directory (Documentation/topdocs). I don't know why it's not using the 
correct path...

$ git grep "@*{Download}"
Documentation/included/compile.itexi:31:are available on the 
@rweb{Download} page.
Documentation/web/news-old.itexi:3199:@ref{Download}.
