ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10

Hi there,
given links for Word2Vec are not working (get_word2vec.sh fails downloading) so I built a copy from this repo which is the only resource available at the moment (the Google repo seems to be down).

As a standalone program, word2vec appears to be working correctly, but when combined to the preprocess.py in this project, I cant manage to make it work.
It generates the .txt file, but the process crashes before outputting the hdf5 one with a:
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '\x7fELF\x02\x01\x01'
when trying to preprocess any of the given datasets (i.e. MR).

I've tried with various word2vec build but the result is always the same.

After some tests (and more reading), I finally understood that the .bin file the readme refers to is not the word2vec executable binary file, it's a "Pre-trained word and phrase vectors" as the official word2vec project page states.

Still, I think it would be nice to modify the readme stating explicitly this common misconception.
