Welcome to the Community,

it looks like an issue with the download site. As a workaround take a look at How to download vmware player

This from the far end of the same day.

But it appears to be downloadable to me from my location.

Perhaps it was a temporary outage.

I used your landing page URL

Then clicked on [VMware Player for Windows 32-bit and 64-bit] [Download]

Firefox [Live HTTP headers] revealed the javascript shoved this at my browser as a redirect:

https://download2.vmware.com/software/wkst/VMware-player-5.0.2-1031769.exe?HashKey=02188300379b5f80a...

A little mod_rewrite would go a long ways.
