You can download under Unix using wget "my-full-url".

Example (get me some firefox):

wget "http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.5.9&os=linux&lang=en-US";

Often files are tar.gz2-ed, in that case:

wget -O firefox.tar.gz2 "http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.5.9&os=linux&lang=en-US";tar -vxjf firefox.tar.gz2

Does that help to solve your problem?
