I use an anonymous ftp link for this sort of thing, especially if the
download contains a directory of several different types of files.
Using anonymous ftp avoids bothering the user with a password. On the
host I use, it is quite easy to set up anonymous ftp from the server
control panel. Some directories of media files can be rather
troublesome to download unless you use ftp.
