@ Damion: As far as I can tell this can be done with Javascript... See for example http://www.download.com/Mozilla-Fire...ml?tag=lst-0-3...

It seems to be this part: 'return rbdl.dlNow'. Search it in the source code of the website and adapt it for your need.

Please also look here: sample 1

Let us know if it worked!
