Your best bet is to download from a http source. Forcing lower version will not work since supporting lower version is a vulnerability for a publicly hosted servers.

Alternate is to try any other download utility available on esxi.

It uses busybox. what option would work out of the below??

Code: 
[root@localhost:~] wget --help
BusyBox v1.29.3 (2021-01-17 01:25:00 PST) multi-call binary.

Usage: wget [-c|--continue] [--spider] [-q|--quiet] [-O|--output-document FILE]
    [-o|--output-file FILE] [--header 'header: value'] [-Y|--proxy on/off]
    [--no-check-certificate]
    [-P DIR] [-S|--server-response] [-U|--user-agent AGENT] URL...

Retrieve files via HTTP or FTP

    --spider    Only check URL existence: $? is 0 if exists
    --no-check-certificate    Don't validate the server's certificate
    -c        Continue retrieval of aborted transfer
    -q        Quiet
    -P DIR        Save to DIR (default .)
    -S            Show server response
    -O FILE        Save to FILE ('-' for stdout)
    -o FILE        Log messages to FILE
    -U STR        Use STR for User-Agent header
    -Y on/off    Use proxy
