The obvious solution would be to download the files in another machine and then transfer them to dom0 using a transfer disk. If you're on a laptop and have a sys-usb set up then you will need to interrupt boot and edit the kernel parameters to remove the section that says rd.qubes.hide_all_usb - that will allow you to connect USB to dom0 at some cost to your security. If you dont want to do that we can try troubleshooting your inability to start headless qubes. If you wnat to do that then try starting just sys-net from the command line and check the logs, and report back any error from the logs or command line.
