refactor(ci): enhance download process in CI and release workflows

- Updated the download logic in both ci.yml and release.yml to include error handling for Invoke-WebRequest.
- Added a fallback to curl.exe for downloading packages if the initial request fails, improving reliability in package retrieval.

Benefits:
- Increases robustness of the CI and release workflows by ensuring successful downloads even in case of network issues.
- Enhances maintainability by centralizing download logic and error handling in the workflow scripts.
