https://sourceforge.net/projects/cream/files/Vim/ offers (at the
moment) Vim 8.0.3 for Win32. It will also run on Win64, thanks to the
WOW64 module of the OS. But it won't handle files larger than 2 GiB
even if you have the memory for it, and I think Numbers (integers) are
limited to the range from -21474836478 to +2147483647 too. Floating
numbers, of course, don't have that limitation.

Best regards,
Tony.

Or get it from the official "nightly" builds: 
https://github.com/vim/vim-win32-installer/releases which has all currently 
released patches to 8.0 (currently 8.0.22).

These and other places listed on http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Where_to_download_Vim

I tried by I got error:

Virus/Spyware Download Blocked
Download of the virus/spyware has been blocked in accordance with company 
policy. Please contact your system administrator if you believe this is in 
error. File name: gvim80.exe

It looks like company antivirus found something special in this file. Is there 
some https (secure) server to download from in order to prevent corporate 
antivirus program to block this?

Try http instead of ftp!
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/pc/gvim80.exe

Where to download Vim 8.0 for Windows? Official download web page does not download the installation file?

[Igor Forca]

Hi,
I tried to download gVim 8.0 from http://www.vim.org/download.php#pc and link 
points to ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/pc/gvim80.exe but clicking on this link and 
nothing happens (actually it starts downloading file gvim80.exe but it has 0 
bytes).

Any idea what is wrong? Or any idea where to download Vim?
Regards
