If you have 4.0 in your local download directory, you should be able to
re-run 'setup.exe' and point it to that directory to see the packages you
have there.  You can reinstall the version you want that way.  Otherwise, it
looks like it's still available on mirrors, though 'setup.exe' won't see
it automatically.  Download it (with 'wget' or similar tool) and put it
in the proper directory in your local download directory and follow the
prescription above.  A complete problem report would likely prove more
productive in the long run for you though, since you'll find each time
you run 'setup.exe' in the future, it will automatically upgrade 'gnuplot'
on you.
