    You can't download it to your PC. The only way is to connect Apple TV to your computer and restore  via iTunes (which will load the current firmware).

     

    Make sure you are following the steps exactly (unplug all cables, then connect micro usb cable)

    Make sure you are connecting directly to computer, not a keyboard port or USB hub

    Try a different cable

     

    Also may want to check any firewall and security software installed on the system.
