I could download the file from the above link ,its called `GSE22093_RAW.tar`. I suggest trying at a less busy time, e.g. weekend and considering whether there's a firewall issue blocking the download, e.g. download via tethering your mobile to you PC/laptop as a wifi hotspot. A firewall is the most likely explanation, NCBI do restrict/minimise bandwidth but not via ftp to my knowledge.
