In that case, please use wget ;)

My ISP must be messing up something, but as I don't own the server and 
can't do anything about file permissions or other configurations on it, I 
kinda have to live with it.

FWIW, I usually use lynx for browsing and wget for downloading files (and 
Mozilla, on accasion, if I actually want the graphics) and haven't had 
this problem yet, but I *think* there might be some policy that disallows 
access to files if there's no HTML that leads to it. There's no 
requirement for the user to accept this policy that I know of, though (but 
IANAL)

Anyway, thanks for letting me know :)
