What I do to download the latest package from a specific tag (e.g.
dist-f11-updates-candidate) is:

 # koji download-build --latestfrom dist-f11-updates-candidate --arch
i386 --arch i586 --arch x86_64 kernel

If you know a specific build id you want to download:

 # koji download-build --arch i386 --arch i586 --arch x86_64 <build#>

You will need to adjust --arch accordingly I believe.

It depends on what's selected in the drop down list (Packages, Builds,
Users, Tags etc...).  If I search for "kernel" with Packages selected,
it takes me to
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8.

When in doubt, add glob patterns.  To search for anything gnome...
search for
"gnome*" (http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/search?terms=gnome*&type=package&match=glob).

Thanks,
James
