there may be some trickery in the download dialog - like it uses
javascript to fire off the download.

if so, you need to figure out what the final URL of the file you are
actually getting is, and do a curl request to that file location.
(View the page source to figure out what's going on)

they may have things in place to thwart your attempts like session
keys that expire after a certain amount of time and stuff like that
but yeah... hopefully this is some help to you :P
