The easiest way to do it (using Netscape) is with wget. When trying to
download a file I just type wget, then right-click on the file and copy the
link, and then paste it to the xterm.
If you want to continue the download just use -c. This is the fastest way, no
need to authenticate yourself and get to the directory, and also works with
http.
