downloadhelper was the easy way
If you really, really want it, you should be able to get it via the
entire URL which probably includes tokens/various authentication
information, etc.
Basically, you start viewing with a web browser. Then in a Konsole (or

select the URL, then run 'wget $PASTED_URL' and you probably will get it
