If you have a list of the filenames, you can write a small perl script
(well, I can; you do need to know perl) to use lynx to download the files.
You can do the same thing, perhaps a bit more eaily, with "wget". I imagine
someone who knows shell scripting better than I can do the same thing in a
shell script.
Give me a sample URL to look at and I'll try to give more specific feedback.
