There have been several. I'm using r4210, which may not be the latest.
Try http://www.netsurf-browser.org/downloads/development/netsurf.zip

You don't need to have Sibelius installed to download a MIDI file.

14919 is the correct length of that MIDI file, so it has been received
but, as you say, NetSurf cannot display it. You need to force NetSurf to
download the file, without attempting to display it:

Hold down <shift> and select-click the link (on the page containing the
original link). First, you will see a blank NetSurf window, over which a
download dialogue box should open. Drag the MIDI icon from the dialogue
box, to wherever you wish to save the file. Then drop the saved file
into Sibelius.
