The site uses dynamic HTML to build the page. You'll probably notice a brief
pause between the time the page first shows up on your browser and the download
links appear; that's the time where the page is requesting the list of
downloads including versions.

If you go to the page in a browser and open the network tab in the developer
tools, you'll see at least a dozen GET requests and one of them of type JSON or
XHR looks like this:

https://www.eset.com/int/support/av-remover/?tx_esetdownloads_ajax%5Bbeta%5D=0&tx_esetdownloads_ajax%5Bpage_id%5D=15485&tx_esetdownloads_ajax%5Bplugin_id%5D=486706&tx_esetdownloads_ajax%5Bproduct%5D=47&type=13554&lang=en&tx_esetdownloads_ajax%5Bproduct%5D=47&tx_esetdownloads_ajax%5Bbeta%5D=0&tx_esetdownloads_ajax%5Bpage_id%5D=15485&tx_esetdownloads_ajax%5Bplugin_id%5D=486706

That downloads a JSON document containing the different program versions and
platforms. Some JavaScript then builds an HTML table out of that, which is what
you can see on the page.
