Downloading jar file from http seleniumhq org using Selenium WebDriver

Question

Steps I used: open the Browser > enter URL http://seleniumhq.org > Click Download tab > click Download version “2.46.0” link It opens a dialog window. Click “Save File” button

Note: I have tried download *.xls file example code from  http://seleniumeasy.com/selenium-tutorials/how-to-download-a-file-with-webdriver it is working fine in my system but the same code is not working to download the *.jar file. Please help me to resolve this issue?

For Selenium Standalone Server:

 profile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", "application/java-archive");

If downloading selenium java webdriver:

profile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", "application/zip");
