I just tried downloading the zip file and unzipping it. I see a few issues.
Here are my steps :

1. from <
https://www.polymer-project.org/docs/start/getting-the-code.html#using-zip>
click 'GET POLYMER'
  dialogue appears with 'DOWNLOAD ZIP' and example import :
  '<link rel="import" href="components/polymer/polymer.html">'
2. click 'DOWNLOAD ZIP'
3. cd ~/Downloads/; mkdir tmp; cd tmp; unzip ../archive.zip

the structure of the download doesn't correspond fo the import link in the
dialogue above :

[tmp]$ find . -name polymer.html
./components/bower_components/polymer/polymer.html
./components/bower_components/polymer/dist/polymer.html

It does seem to include polymer.html and webcomponents.js, and I presume
all their dependencies.
It doesn't include any core or paper elements, but I wouldn't expect that
since they're not 'polymer' (just elements written using polymer).

Still, it's clear the instructions aren't correct. Either the archiver
should produce a zip file with bower_components renamed to components, or
the import link in the dialogue should be changed to be '<link rel="import"
href="components/bower_components/polymer/polymer.html">'.

Personally, I think there's an unnecessary directory level there - and to
make it consistent with using the command line (with default rc), the
dialog should be changed to use 'bower_components/' *and* the top
'components/' directory level removed.

Max.
