Many people report that error when trying to directly download the Windows 11 ISO using the 3rd link on that web page.

The best option is to use the middle (second) option on that web page to download the Media Creation Tool, then run that tool and use it to create the Windows 11 ISO on your PC, not a bootable USB.
