The Win32 download link from sourceforge appears to be broken
The GitHub one seems to work.
Also the doc states:
> When importing, the matcher will no longer offer to match a
> transaction to one that has already matched in a previous import, nor
> will it offer to match more than one imported transaction to a single
> existing transaction.
The second item, I thinks this is pull request
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/pull/718 and it hasn't been merged in yet
